EDITORS COMMENTS
This enchanting postcard depicts a scene from the 1905 production of "Cinderella" at the Royal Artillery Theatre in Woolwich, SE London. The Edwardian-era theatre, known for its pantomimes, comes alive with the magic of the classic fairy tale. In the heartwarming image, Cinderella, dressed in blue and adorned with a glass slipper, sits sadly by the fireside. Her fairy godmother, a benevolent figure in a flowing robe and magical wand, hovers above her, ready to grant her a wish. The transformation of a pumpkin into a magnificent carriage and horses can be seen in the background, symbolizing the joy and wonder that lies ahead. The Royal Artillery Theatre, a beloved institution in Woolwich, brought the spirit of Christmas and the New Year to life through its annual pantomimes. This 1905 production of "Cinderella" was no exception, offering a much-needed escape from the daily grind and a chance to immerse oneself in the magical world of make-believe. The warm glow of the fireside, the anticipation in Cinderella's eyes, and the promise of a fairy godmother's intervention all come together to create a captivating moment in time. This postcard, from The Michael Diamond Collection at Mary Evans Picture Library, offers a glimpse into the past and reminds us of the enduring power of storytelling and the magic of the pantomime.
