EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time and experience the enchanting world of The Marriage Market, a popular theatrical production from the early 20th century. This promotional postcard, featuring a scene from the play by Gladys Unger, invites us to witness the magic unfolding on stage. The Marriage Market premiered at the Dalys Theatre in Budapest on the 17th of May, 1913, with music by Viktor Jacobi. The play, a combination of pantomime and panto, quickly became a sensation, attracting audiences with its wit, charm, and timeless themes. In this stunning image, we see the heroine of the play, elegantly dressed and surrounded by the sparkling waters of a yacht, in the company of a midshipman. The serene beauty of the scene is a stark contrast to the bustling marketplace depicted in the play's title. The Marriage Market was a place where young women could find potential husbands, and the production was filled with comedic twists and turns as the heroine navigated the market, seeking true love. This postcard, published by Leanyvasar and featuring artwork by Mikda Brody and Ferenc Matos, is a testament to the enduring appeal of The Marriage Market. It invites us to imagine the excitement and wonder of attending a live performance of this beloved theatrical production over a century ago. Join us on a journey back in time and experience the magic of The Marriage Market, a theatrical treasure from the past that continues to captivate audiences today.
