This postcard showcases Dan Leno, the undisputed king of music halls in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Known as "The King's Jester," Leno's popularity reached unprecedented heights during the 1900s, making him a must-have inclusion in any collection of music hall performers. This image, part of Alick P. Ritchie's series, is a testament to Leno's enduring appeal.

Regardless, this postcard serves as a reminder of the extraordinary impact Dan Leno had on the world of theatre and popular entertainment during the 1900s. Whether performing in music halls, theatres, or pantomimes, Dan Leno's talent and charisma left an indelible mark on the entertainment industry.
