EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph showcases a vintage four-page flyer for the grand revival of the successful play "The English Rose" at The Adelphi Theatre in London during the 1890s. The play, which was first produced at The Adelphi Theatre on August 2, 1890, was revised and rewritten by George R. Sims and Robert Buchanan for this production. The flyer advertises the touring of the play to The Gaiety Theatre in Dublin, starting on March 2, 1890. The image features an intriguing illustration of a horse race at the track, with men in top hats and women in elegant dresses, as well as a boy in a bowler hat, all gathered around the edge of the racetrack, cheering and placing their bets. In the foreground, a man in a suit and a vicar in robes are seen engaged in a heated conversation, adding an element of drama to the scene. The English Rose was a popular theatrical entertainment of the time, and this flyer effectively captures the excitement and energy of the production. The W.H. Savery & A.S. Pigotts Company, which produced the play, is prominently displayed on the flyer, further emphasizing the theatrical nature of the event. This photograph provides a fascinating glimpse into the past, offering a glimpse into the world of Victorian-era entertainment and the enduring appeal of horse racing as a popular form of recreation.
