EDITORS COMMENTS
This poster advertises a theatrical performance of Pygmalion and Galatea in the historic city of Oxford, England, in the year 1894. The image portrays the legendary Greek mythological sculptor, Pygmalion, gazing intently at his masterpiece, Galatea. Pygmalion, a skilled artist, had carved the perfect woman from ivory and marble, bringing her to life through his unwavering love and devotion. The poster's rich colors and intricate details evoke the classical beauty and elegance of ancient Greece. Pygmalion and Galatea is one of the most famous myths from Greek mythology, and has been retold through various art forms throughout history. This particular production in Oxford was likely a theatrical adaptation of the myth, bringing the story to life on stage for audiences to experience the magic of Pygmalion's creation. The poster's tagline, "A Dramatic Poem by Gilbert," suggests that the play was written by the renowned English playwright, W.S. Gilbert. Known for his collaborations with composer Arthur Sullivan, Gilbert's works were celebrated for their wit, humor, and intricate plots. The poster's design is a testament to the enduring appeal of the Pygmalion and Galatea story, as well as the rich cultural heritage of Oxford and its commitment to preserving and sharing the classics with its community. This poster is a fascinating glimpse into the past, offering a glimpse into the theatrical world of the late 19th century and the captivating stories that brought people together.
