EDITORS COMMENTS
Step into the enchanting world of Terra Baja, a captivating play by Angel Gumera, brought to life on the stage in this evocative promotional postcard from 1911. The image features a pivotal moment from the production, as The Lowland Wolf, played by Guido Warburg and Wallack Gillpatrick, is restrained from attacking Sebastian, the local grandee, portrayed as a menacing figure with an arrogant expression. The scene takes place in a rustic cottage setting, surrounded by quaint cottages, adding to the idyllic yet tense atmosphere. Martin Harvey, a popular actor of the age, brilliantly portrayed the title role of The Lowland Wolf, a Catalan shepherd, who was known for his fierce loyalty and protectiveness towards his land and people. The wolf's restraint is evident in the image, as he growls and bares his teeth, held back only by the unseen hands of his handlers. Marta, Sebastian's mistress, watches the scene unfold with a mixture of fear and intrigue, her eyes wide with wonder. The theatrical production of Terra Baja, which premiered at the Opera House in Leicester on January 15, 1911, was a critical and commercial success, and later toured to the Theatre Royal in Nottingham on September 4, 1911. This promotional postcard offers a glimpse into the magical and captivating world of early 20th-century theatre, where the lines between reality and fantasy blurred, and the power of storytelling came alive on the stage.
