EDITORS COMMENTS
This print depicts a scene from the theatrical production of 'The Walls of Jericho' by Alfred Sutro, first performed at the prestigious Garrick Theatre in London on October 31, 1904. The Brough-Flemming Company brought this popular Edwardian play to life, transporting audiences to biblical times with its grandiose staging and larger-than-life characters. In this image, an ethereal angel, poised with a trumpet, stands atop the crumbling walls of Jericho. The moment of destruction is at hand, as the angel's trumpet blast is about to bring down the ancient fortifications. The scene is a visual representation of the power and majesty of the divine, as described in the Bible. The production of 'The Walls of Jericho' was a significant event in the London theatrical scene of the early 1900s. The play's combination of biblical themes, theatrical spectacle, and popular entertainment drew large crowds to the Garrick Theatre. This postcard serves as a window into the past, offering a glimpse into the theatrical world of a bygone era. Alfred Sutro's 'The Walls of Jericho' remains a fascinating piece of theatrical history, and this print is a testament to the enduring power of live performance to transport us to other worlds and times.
