EDITORS COMMENTS
A delightful cartoon print from the 1880s captures the whimsical and exotic allure of a Japanese village scene staged at the Savoy Theatre in London during the popular production of Gilbert and Sullivan's "The Mikado" in March 1885. The entr'acte, or intermission entertainment, featured a series of comic cartoons that added an extra layer of humor to the already humorous operetta. This particular cartoon, titled "Cartoon, A Japanese Village at the Savoy," showcases a quaint and playful depiction of Japanese life, reflecting the late Victorian fascination with the East and the oriental style. The village scene is filled with charming details, such as the thatched roofs, the traditional clothing of the villagers, and the intricate umbrellas. The cartoon's style is reminiscent of the popular illustrations of the time, with bold lines, intricate details, and a sense of humor that perfectly complemented the operetta's satirical tone. The print is a testament to the creativity and innovation of the Savoy Theatre, which was known for its groundbreaking productions and its commitment to providing its audience with a unique and entertaining experience. The cartoon's creators, Alfred Bryan and his team, were renowned for their work on the Savoy Theatre's productions, and their contributions helped to make "The Mikado" one of the most popular and enduring works of the Gilbert and Sullivan canon. This charming print offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back to a time when the Savoy Theatre was at the forefront of entertainment and innovation.
