Scene from "Alonzo the Brave and the Fair Imogene", [Princess's Theatre, London], 1850. The pantomime at the Princess is founded on Mat. Lewis's celebrated ballad of " Alonzo the Brave and the Fair Imogene [or, Harlequin and the Baron all covered with Jewels and Gold]" a subject rich in suggestion, and which there is no doubt the management will produce in magnificent style...Clown, Mr. Flexmore; Harlequin, Mr. Cormack; Pantaloon, Mr Paulo; and Columbine, Miss Carlotta Leclerck [or Le Clercq]. From "Illustrated London News", 1850

EDITORS COMMENTS
This image is a scene from the 1850 pantomime production of "Alonzo the Brave and the Fair Imogene" at the Princess's Theatre in London. The exact creator of this engraving remains unknown, but it is known that the production was based on Mathew Lewis's popular ballad of the same name. The pantomime promised to be a grand spectacle, with notable actors such as Flexmore as Clown, Cormack as Harlequin, Paulo as Pantaloon, and Carlotta Leclerck or Le Clercq as Columbine. The scene depicted in the print shows a full moon illuminating a castle fortification, with astronomy appearing to be a concept integrated into the production. The men, dressed in Victorian attire, are likely preparing for a performance, as indicated by the thespian setting and the presence of a solar system model. The print offers a glimpse into the grandeur and entertainment value of 19th-century theatre, where acting companies brought stories to life on stage, leaving audiences in awe. The intricate details of the fortification, the moon's radiant glow, and the men's focused expressions all contribute to the captivating atmosphere of this image. The print, from the Illustrated London News, offers a unique window into the world of Victorian theatre and the magical world of pantomime.
