EDITORS COMMENTS
Step into the world of Quinneys, a charming yet stubborn antique dealer brought to life in this theatrical production by Horace Annesley Vachell. First presented at the prestigious Haymarket Theatre on the 20th of April 1915, Quinneys quickly became a popular sensation. The play, which was later toured to the Prince of Wales Theatre in Birmingham on the 27th of September 1915, follows the endearing yet problematic head of a family firm of antique dealers, Joseph Quinney. As the backdrop of World War I loomed, the stage came alive with the laughter and tears of Quinney's relatives and friends, whose lives were often disrupted by his unyielding views and quirks. The play, which was brought to life through the artistic vision of F. Ernest Jackson, offered a much-needed escape from the harsh realities of the war and the 1910s. Quinneys, a classic piece of popular entertainment, showcased the best of the theatrical arts during a time of great upheaval. It is a testament to the enduring power of the stage to transport audiences and provide a momentary respite from the challenges of everyday life. This promotional postcard, featuring a captivating image of Quinney, offers a glimpse into the past and a reminder of the magic of live theatre.
