Barrie Churches Landscapes Peter Promotional Soar Soaring Spire Spires Yorks
EDITORS COMMENTS
Beneath the star-studded night sky, the enchanting world of J.M. Barrie's Peter Pan comes to life in this promotional postcard for the 1917 production of the play at the Grand Theatre in Southampton. The image, created by renowned artist John Hassall, features Peter Pan (center) in his iconic green tunic and hat, flying high above the picturesque landscape. With the silhouette of a church spire in the background, Peter is accompanied by the mischievous Lost Boys and the wise old Tinker Bell, all gazing up at their fearless leader as they soar through the night. The serene landscape, dotted with quaint cottages and twinkling lanterns, is a stark contrast to the chaos and excitement of their aerial adventures. This postcard, produced during World War I, offers a momentary escape from the harsh realities of the time. The war, known as the First Great War or WWI, had been raging on for over two years, leaving a profound impact on the lives of people across the globe. The image of Peter Pan and his band of boys flying freely through the night sky, untouched by the turmoil of war, serves as a symbol of hope and innocence in an uncertain world. The postcard was first produced at the Duke of Yorks Theatre in London on December 27, 1904, and later toured to various theatres, including the Grand Theatre in Southampton on February 12, 1917. This beautiful artwork by John Hassall continues to capture the hearts of audiences, reminding us of the timeless magic and adventure found within the pages of J.M. Barrie's beloved story of Peter Pan.
