EDITORS COMMENTS
This poster, a print of James Hearn's original lithograph, advertises a production of "Pygmalion and Galatea" at the New Theatre in Oxford. The play, written by W. S. Gilbert, is a delightful mythological comedy that first graced the stage in 1871. Hearn, known by his pseudonym Weirdsly Daubery, cleverly pays homage to the renowned English illustrator Aubrey Beardsley with his unique artistic style evident in this poster design. The influence of Art Nouveau can be seen throughout the intricate illustrations and graphic elements. The poster captures the essence of Victorian theatrical drama as it showcases key characters from the play: Pygmalion, Galatea, The Burglar, and The Judge. Its purpose is clear - to entice audiences to attend this student production at one of Oxford's most esteemed theaters. With its vibrant colors and attention-grabbing composition, this promotional artwork serves as an exquisite example of late 19th-century illustration. It transports viewers back in time to experience the allure and excitement surrounding live theater during this period. Preserved within a private collection but made available through Fine Art Finder's extensive catalog, this print allows art enthusiasts and theater lovers alike to appreciate Hearn's talent for capturing both beauty and intrigue on paper.
