Description (What the record is about)
-
The David Drummond Pantomime Collection spans four centuries of British pantomime history. It is particularly strong in material relating to Joseph Grimaldi (1778–1837), Dan Leno (1860–1904), The Harlequinade, Pantomime dames and Principal boys.
While pantomimes in all their forms are represented, the collection has a wealth of material relating to performances of ‘Cinderella’, ‘Aladdin’, ‘Babes in the Wood’ and ‘Dick Whittington’.
The collection is highly visual, with an extensive range of promotional material and prints. As well as a rich and diverse collection of posters, playbills, and other pantomime ephemera, particular highlights of the collection include photographs, pantomime show cards, cartoons, costume and set designs, scripts and early programmes. -
