Maskelyne and Cookes "The Artists Dream". John Nevil Maskelyne and George Co
Maskelyne and Cookes " The Artists Dream". John Nevil Maskelyne and George Cooke, presented for the first time to a West End audience an entertainment they had been giving for several years in the provinces and at the Crystal Palace with considerable success. Maskelynes invention of the door lock for London toilets required the insertion of a penny coin to operate it, leading to the euphemism to " spend a penny". With John Algernon Clarke, Maskelyne invented " Psycho", the famous whist-playing automaton. At Londons Egyptian Hall, Psycho appeared in more than 4000 performances. Date: circa 1880

Maskelyne and Cooke - The Artists' Dream
EDITORS COMMENTS
- A Captivating Glance into the World of Victorian Magic and Illusion Step back in time to the 1880s and experience the magic and wonder of Maskelyne and Cooke's groundbreaking theatrical production, "The Artists' Dream." This image showcases the dynamic duo, John Nevil Maskelyne and George Cooke, as they presented their enchanting show to a West End audience for the first time. Having already achieved considerable success in the provinces and at the Crystal Palace, London was now ready to be enthralled by their illusionary artistry. Maskelyne, a pioneer in the field of magic and illusion, is best known for his invention of the penny-operated door lock for London's public toilets, giving rise to the popular euphemism "spend a penny." Together with John Algernon Clarke, he created the renowned "Psycho," an automaton that could play whist during performances, astonishing audiences in more than 4,000 appearances at London's Egyptian Hall. This theatrical postcard, adorned with an elegant palette and frame, invites us to imagine the surprise and delight Maskelyne and Cooke brought to their audiences through their innovative illusions and captivating stagecraft. The image, a testament to the popularity of magic and pantomime during the Victorian era, offers a glimpse into the world of enchantment and wonder that once captivated the hearts and minds of generations.
