EDITORS COMMENTS
In this enchanting image from the Grand Theatre in Southampton's 1911 production of Dick Whittington, the titular character, played by an unidentified actor, takes a moment of respite with his faithful cat on the picturesque Highgate Hill. Surrounded by the tranquility of the countryside, Dick gazes off into the distance as the bells of London, visible atop the cityscape in the center, ring out, urging him to 'Return Again' to the bustling metropolis. With the promise of great fortune and the esteemed title of Lord Mayor awaiting him in London Town, Dick prepares to embark on the final leg of his journey, as indicated by the coach and horses waiting nearby. The milestone and trees in the foreground serve as a reminder of the distance he has traveled and the adventures he has experienced thus far. This theatrical moment, captured in this beautiful print, encapsulates the popular entertainment value of pantomime and the enduring appeal of Dick Whittington's timeless tale.
