EDITORS COMMENTS
is a beloved English pantomime that has enchanted audiences for centuries. This six-scene woodcut print, created by the talented artist Terry Parker, brings the early story to life with intricate detail and whimsy. In the first scene, we find Dick Whittington, a young and ambitious merchant, preparing to embark on a journey to seek his fortune. With a determined look in his eyes and a bow in hand, he bids farewell to his family and sets off on his adventure. The second scene showcases Dick's encounter with the mischievous cat, who would later become his loyal companion. The cat, with its playful expression and outstretched paw, beckons Dick to follow it, leading him to a magical land filled with opportunities. The third scene depicts Dick's arrival in the bustling city, where he is met with the sounds of bells ringing and the hustle and bustle of market stalls. Dick's optimism remains unwavering as he sets up a table and begins to sell his wares, hoping to build a prosperous business. The fourth scene reveals Dick's growing fortune, as he becomes a successful merchant, surrounded by piles of gold coins and treasure. However, his happiness is short-lived as he learns of a wicked rat infestation plaguing the city. In the fifth scene, Dick and his cat embark on a heroic mission to rid the city of the rats, using their cunning and resourcefulness to outsmart the vermin. With the rats defeated, the people of the city celebrate their victory and hail Dick as a hero. The final scene depicts Dick's triumphant return home, where he is welcomed with open arms by his family. With his fortune secured and his heart full of love and gratitude, Dick Whittington and his cat live happily ever after. This beautiful woodcut print by Terry Parker captures the essence of the classic pantomime tale, with its intricate details, vibrant colors, and heartwarming story. A must-have for any collector of English folklore or pantomime art.
