EDITORS COMMENTS
Step into the magical world of 'Harbour Lights' as depicted in this stunning promotional postcard from the early 1900s. This image, featuring the popular play by George R. Sims, transports us to the stormy harbor where Lt. Kingsley, played by a dashing and heroic actor, saves the beautiful Lina Nelson, portrayed by the talented Jessica Milward, from the treacherous waters (Act IV). The Adelphi Theatre, adorned with its grand architecture, serves as the backdrop to this heart-stopping moment. The Harbour Lights, first produced at the Adelphi Theatre on December 23, 1885, was a popular pantomime that showcased the best of theatrical entertainment during the Victorian era. The play, set against the backdrop of a tempestuous sea and ships in distress, was a thrilling tale of heroism, love, and adventure. The intricate details of this postcard, created by the skilled artist Stewart Browne, bring the scene to life. The contrast between the calmness of Lina's expression and the turmoil of the sea around them creates a captivating juxtaposition. The lanterns of the harbor lights add a warm and inviting glow to the otherwise chaotic scene. This postcard, published by W.H. Savery & A.S. Pigotts Co., is a testament to the enduring appeal of 'Harbour Lights' and the magical world of theatre it created over a century ago.
