EDITORS COMMENTS
: A Dramatic Moment from 'King Amongst Men' (circa 1914) This evocative postcard, postmarked 14th July 1914, captures a thrilling moment from the popular theatrical production, 'King Amongst Men'. The image portrays the British consul to Japan, Richard Trueworth, lying on the ground after being knocked down by the menacing figure of Oswald. Oswald, with a desperate look in his eyes, had attempted to steal a gun that Richard had invented. The gun has gone off, and the expression of horror on the faces of Richard's two wards and another sailor suggests that the bullet has fatally struck a sailor, off-frame to the right. The theatre, a place of entertainment and escapism, comes alive on this postcard as the dramatic tension between the characters is palpable. The use of dramatic lighting and the theatrical poses of the actors add to the sense of excitement and suspense. This moment, from the second act of 'King Amongst Men', would have left audiences on the edge of their seats, eager to see how the story unfolds. The production of 'King Amongst Men' was a melodrama, a genre of theatre that emphasized emotion and action over realism. Melodramas were popular in the early 20th century and often featured larger-than-life characters and sensational plots. This postcard is a fascinating glimpse into the world of pantomime and drama that would have entertained audiences over a century ago. This postcard is not a commercial use item and is available for rights-managed licensing from Mary Evans Prints Online.
