EDITORS COMMENTS
In this delightful engraving titled "Going to the Pantomime" artist John Leech captures the excitement and anticipation of a bygone era. The scene is set in bustling Victorian London, where carriages line the streets as families eagerly make their way towards the theater. The image transports us back to a time when attending the pantomime was a cherished holiday tradition. Children clutching their parents' hands beam with joy, while adults exchange animated conversations about what awaits them inside. The air is filled with laughter and merriment, creating an atmosphere of pure enchantment. Leech's attention to detail brings every element of this lively street scene to life. From the ornate horse-drawn carriages adorned with festive decorations to the fashionable attire worn by both young and old, each aspect reflects the grandeur and elegance of Victorian society. This print serves as a window into history, offering us a glimpse into not only how people entertained themselves in 19th-century England but also how they celebrated Christmas during that time. It reminds us that despite our modern advancements, some traditions remain timeless. "Going to the Pantomime" is more than just an engraving; it encapsulates an entire era's spirit and enthusiasm for theatrical entertainment. As we gaze upon this artwork from Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder collection, we can't help but feel transported back in time - ready to join in on all the fun and magic awaiting us at the pantomime!
