EDITORS COMMENTS
Step right up and feast your eyes on this delightful promotional postcard for the popular pantomime production of "Miss Hook of Holland" by Paul Rubens and Austin Hurgon, first performed at the Prince of Wales Theatre in London on January 31, 1907. This image, featuring a lively Miss Hook of Holland character, was part of the George Dances Co.'s touring production that graced the Opera House stage in Northampton on January 16, 1911. The pantomime, filled with music by Paul Rubens, showcased the charm and wit of traditional British theatre. The image on the postcard depicts a playful and engaging Miss Hook of Holland, adorned with a colorful Dutch costume, complete with a tall, conical hat, and holding a pair of traditional clogs. The backdrop of the postcard adds to the allure of the production, with images of windmills, tulips, and churns, all quintessential symbols of Holland. The clogs in Miss Hook's hands are a nod to the traditional Dutch dance that was a staple of the pantomime. The lively and energetic dance, accompanied by the rhythmic clacking of the clogs, was a crowd-pleaser and a highlight of the show. The windmills and tulips in the background further emphasize the Dutch theme, while the churns add a touch of whimsy and charm. This postcard is a delightful snapshot of a bygone era of popular entertainment, and a reminder of the rich theatrical history that continues to inspire and captivate audiences today.
