EDITORS COMMENTS
a captivating musical production first presented at the prestigious Prince of Wales Theatre in London on April 21, 1908, comes to life in this evocative image. The photograph, featuring the artwork of Paul A. Rubens and Austen Hurgon, with music composed by Paul Rubens, transports us back to the early 1900s and the picturesque South of France. The scene unfolds as a chimney sweep, depicted in the foreground, sits contentedly on his cart alongside his companion. His eyes, filled with longing, are fixed on the head girl of a nearby flower farm, where mimosas bloom in abundance. The idyllic setting, bathed in the golden light of the sun, is captured brilliantly by artist John Hassall in this tour print from the Borough Theatre, Stratford, produced on October 19, 1908. The charm of "My Mimosa Maid" lies in its timeless tale of love and longing, set against the backdrop of the popular entertainment scene of the early 20th century. The theatrical production, with its catchy music and enchanting visuals, left a lasting impression on audiences during its run at the Prince of Wales Theatre and beyond. This photograph serves as a beautiful reminder of the magic and allure that once captivated theatre-goers, inviting us to imagine the story that unfolds beyond the frame.
