EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Scene from the Children's Pantomime at the Adelphi" takes us back to a magical moment in London's theatrical history. Created by David Henry Friston, a talented artist of the 19th century, this print captures the essence of a vibrant performance that once graced the stage of Adelphi Theatre. The scene depicted is none other than Robin Hood, beloved hero of folklore and legend. With meticulous detail and skillful shading, Friston brings to life an enchanting world filled with colorful characters and whimsical scenery. The energy emanating from this illustration is palpable; one can almost hear the laughter and applause echoing through the theater. As we gaze upon this historic artwork, we are transported to a time when children's pantomimes were cherished traditions during the holiday season. The Adelphi Theatre served as a hub for these joyous productions, where families gathered to be entertained by tales of adventure and fantasy. This particular engraving was originally published in The Illustrated London News on January 5th, 1878. It serves as both a testament to Friston's artistic prowess and a nostalgic reminder of London's rich performing arts heritage. Bridgeman Images has preserved this remarkable piece within their private collection so that future generations may continue to appreciate its beauty. As we admire this print today, let us celebrate not only Friston's talent but also the enduring power of theater in bringing people together
