EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time with this promotional postcard for the 1912 production of "From Convent to Throne" by J.A. Campbell. The image, created by artist E.P. Kinsella, showcases a pivotal moment from the drama as Lt. Habsburg, wounded and lying in the snow, is attended to by the Princess whom he has come to fetch from her convent. The Princess, with a regal and determined expression, is dressed in a flowing white gown, while Rosella, a charcoal burner's daughter, looks on from the left with concern. In the background, the Mother Superior tends to the wounded soldier, and Bruno, an attendant at the convent, is just visible in a doorway. This poster was first produced at the Rotunda in Liverpool on July 26, 1909, and later at the Lyric in Hammersmith on September 6, 1909. The production was also staged at the Princes Theatre in London on August 1, 1914. The poster was used in a flyer touring to the Tyne Theatre in Newcastle on April 8, 1912. "From Convent to Throne" was a popular and theatrical production of the 1910s, showcasing the drama and excitement of the stage during that era. This poster is a testament to the enduring appeal of live theatre and the captivating stories it brings to life.
