EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph print showcases Don, the eponymous hero of Rudolph Wilhelm Besier's play, as depicted in a vintage poster designed by Albert Morrow. The image, first produced at the Haymarket Theatre on October 12, 1909, presents Don as a gallant knight in shining armor, complete with a helmet, cloak, and shield. However, instead of a lance, Don holds a quill pen and a feather, signifying his role as a poet. The poster, which advertises the play's tour to the Opera House in Northampton on October 3, 1910, features a striking image of Don riding a horse, with a woman and books in the background. The border of the frame is adorned with studs, adding to the overall medieval aesthetic. The play's title and other production details are inscribed in elegant script, adding to the allure of this vintage poster. This print is a beautiful and intriguing glimpse into the past, offering a glimpse into the world of early 20th-century theater and the enduring appeal of chivalric tales and poetic expression.
