Step into the enchanting world of Sir Percy Blakeney, the elusive Scarlet Pimpernel, in this promotional postcard from the 1905 production of Baroness Orczy's classic play at the New Theatre in London. The image showcases the opulent set design for Act II, brought to life by the skilled craftsmanship of Oetzmann & Co., who provided the furnishings for this theatrical masterpiece. The Scarlet Pimpernel, a popular entertainment that combined elements of pantomime and drama, first premiered at the New Theatre on 5th January 1905. This postcard serves as a testament to the production's grandeur and the collaboration between the creative minds behind the scenes and the companies that brought it all to life. Baroness Orczy's timeless tale of adventure, romance, and daring rescues unfolds on this magnificent stage, where the opulence of the set design is on full display. The rich colors, intricate details, and elegant furnishings transport the audience to another world, immersing them in the story of the Scarlet Pimpernel and his band of loyal followers. M. Barstow, Baroness Orczy's husband, played a significant role in the production's success, both as her collaborator and as the set designer. Together, they created a theatrical experience that captivated audiences and left a lasting impression on the world of popular entertainment. This postcard is not only a beautiful keepsake from a bygone era but also a reminder of the power of collaboration, creativity, and the magic of live theatre.
