EDITORS COMMENTS
This image showcases a dramatic scene from The Infernal Machine, a melodrama produced by The Boston Theatre Company in the late 19th century. The tableau, titled Tableau II, depicts a crisis unfolding on the deck of a ship. The ominous title, The Infernal Machine, foreshadows the impending danger. The stage is set against the backdrop of a stormy sea, with the ship's masts looming in the background. The deck is filled with a panicked crowd of people, all trying to escape the inferno that engulfs the ship. In the center, a massive fire consumes the deck, its orange and red flames illuminating the faces of the terrified passengers. Amidst the chaos, a man stands defiantly, holding a gun, seemingly determined to fight the infernal machine. A lifeboat is being lowered into the water, and people are scrambling to board it, their faces etched with fear and determination. In the distance, the ominous silhouette of Tompkins Hill looms, a symbol of safety and salvation. The Infernal Machine was a popular melodrama of the time, known for its dramatic and emotionally charged scenes. The production was a sensation, drawing large crowds and critical acclaim. This image captures the essence of the production, with its vivid portrayal of danger, crisis, and the human spirit's determination to survive against all odds.
