EDITORS COMMENTS
This enchanting print captures a scene from the pantomime production of "Oliver Cromwell; or, Harlequin Charley" at the City of London Theatre in London, 1851. The pantomime, a popular form of entertainment during the Victorian era, was a unique blend of music, dance, comedy, and drama. This particular scene showcases the mischievous Harlequin Charley, played by a man, attempting to woo the Maid of Patty's Mill, portrayed by a woman, over the water. Charley's antics are met with the stern disapproval of Oliver Cromwell, a character often played by a woman in pantomime, who stands watch over the scene from the background. The intricate set design and elaborate costumes are on full display in this engraving. The interior of the theatre is adorned with ornate decorations and the stage is set with a backdrop of a water mill and a quaint English countryside. Harlequin's vibrant, colorful costume contrasts sharply with the more subdued attire of Oliver Cromwell and the Maid of Patty's Mill. The pantomime was a beloved tradition in Victorian England, and this print offers a glimpse into the magical world of theatre during that era. The playful interaction between the characters, the beautiful set design, and the ornate costumes all come together to create a captivating and timeless image.
