Burlesque Exotic Farce Frank Harem Islington Promotional Rubens Musical
23"x19" (58x48cm) Premium Frame
FSC real wood frame with double mounted 16x12 print. Double mounted with white conservation mountboard. Frame moulding comprises stained composite natural wood veneers (Finger Jointed Pine) 39mm wide by 21mm thick. Archival quality Fujifilm CA photo paper mounted onto 1mm card. Overall outside dimensions are 23x19 inches (584x482mm). Rear features Framing tape to cover staples, 50mm Hanger plate, cork bumpers. Glazed with durable thick 2mm Acrylic to provide a virtually unbreakable glass-like finish. Acrylic Glass is far safer, more flexible and much lighter than typical mineral glass. Moreover, its higher translucency makes it a perfect carrier for photo prints. Acrylic allows a little more light to penetrate the surface than conventional glass and absorbs UV rays so that the image and the picture quality doesn't suffer under direct sunlight even after many years. Easily cleaned with a damp cloth. Please note that, to prevent the paper falling through the mount window and to prevent cropping of the original artwork, the visible print may be slightly smaller to allow the paper to be securely attached to the mount without any white edging showing and to match the aspect ratio of the original artwork.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This postcard invites us into the enchanting world of 'I've Seen the Arem,' a musical farce burlesque that once graced the stages of the Empire Theatre in Islington, North London, during the early 1910s. The image transports us back in time to an era of exotic allure and theatrical extravagance, as the Middle Eastern-inspired production comes to life before our very eyes. The scene is set against the backdrop of the opulent Empire Theatre, with its grand facade and ornate decor, a fitting stage for this oriental-themed spectacle. The women in the foreground, dressed in sumptuous harem costumes, exude an air of mystery and allure, their expressive faces and seductive poses drawing us deeper into the story. The title of the production, 'I've Seen the Arem,' suggests a journey of discovery and adventure, perhaps a reference to the exotic lands and cultures being explored on stage. The use of the word 'farce' hints at a light-hearted and humorous production, while the term 'burlesque' suggests a subversive and satirical take on the traditional form. The image also serves as a poignant reminder of the wartime era in which it was produced, with World War I raging across Europe and beyond. Amidst the chaos and uncertainty of the time, the theatre provided a much-needed escape, a place where people could come together and lose themselves in the magic of live performance. This postcard is a precious snapshot of a bygone era, a time when the theatre was a vibrant and vital part of everyday life, and where the power of imagination and creativity could transport audiences to far-off lands and exotic worlds.
