EDITORS COMMENTS
Dick Whittington and His Cat on Ice: A Magical Winter's Tale from the Early 1900s This poster invites us to experience the enchanting world of Dick Whittington and his feline companion, as they glide on the frozen River Thames, surrounded by the iconic Houses of Parliament. Dating back to the early 1900s, this vintage poster is a testament to the enduring appeal of pantomime and the magic of the holiday season. The scene is set against the backdrop of a crisp winter's day, with the red and white decorations of Christmas and Xmas adorning the bridge and the gothic beauty of Big Ben and the Houses of Parliament standing proudly in the background. Dick Whittington, a legendary character from English folklore, is depicted in his traditional attire, complete with a hat and a long, flowing cloak, while his faithful cat, often believed to have led him to London, looks on with curiosity. The frozen River Thames, once a bustling hub of activity, now transformed into a picturesque ice rink, adds an extra layer of wonder to this magical tableau. The people in the poster, bundled up against the cold weather, are captured in the midst of enjoying the festivities, their faces filled with joy and excitement. This poster, with its intricate design and rich details, offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us to a time when the simple pleasures of ice skating on a frozen river and the enchantment of pantomime brought warmth and cheer to the coldest of winters.
