EDITORS COMMENTS
This print, titled "I wonder what they think of it? Song and Dance at the Savoy," offers a humorous glimpse into the world of late Victorian entertainment, specifically the renowned Savoy Theatre in London during the 1890s. The image, created by the talented artist T. Parker, showcases a lively scene filled with song, dance, and the whimsical spirit of the popular Gilbert and Sullivan operettas. The cartoon illustration at the heart of the print depicts a group of elegantly dressed patrons, each with their unique expressions and reactions, as they watch the performance unfolding on stage. In the foreground, a conductor, donning a monocle and a serious expression, leads the orchestra with an air of authority. The overall scene exudes a sense of excitement, energy, and the infectious joy that came with attending a live musical production during this era. The title "Song and Dance at the Savoy" is a nod to the Savoy Theatre's reputation for showcasing groundbreaking operettas by the celebrated duo, W.S. Gilbert and Arthur Sullivan. The Savoy Theatre, which opened in 1881, was a pioneer in the world of musical theatre, pushing boundaries with its innovative productions and incorporating modern elements such as electric lighting and a revolving stage. This charming print, published in July 1891 in The Journal, offers a delightful snapshot of the entertainment scene during the late Victorian period. It invites us to imagine the magic and wonder that filled the Savoy Theatre as patrons gathered to enjoy the enchanting world of Gilbert and Sullivan's operettas.
