The production was an incredible success and ran for over 100 performances, and also toured North America.","physicalDescription":"Caricature print showing three scenes from a production of <i>King Arthur</i>, at the Lyceum Theatre, January 12<sup>th</sup> 1895. The scene at the top left shows 'The Magic Sword-A Mere Trick' showing King Arthur, played by Henry Irving lifting excalibur in the air. The sword is glowing and Arthur's bird helmet is stressed with extended wings. \r\n\r\nThe scene at the top right shows 'A Cosy Corner' showing two characters embraced and about to kiss, with others behind the bush looking at them, with the character hiding on the right saying 'Peep Bo!'. The two embracing characters are most probably Johnston Forbes-Robinson as Lancelot and Ellen Terry as Guinevere. The two characters behind the bush are also most probably Mordred played by Frank Cooper and Sir Agravaine played by 'Mr. Lacy'.\r\n\r\nThe third scene depicts 'Morte D'Arthur' shows Lancelot and Arthur in armour fighting with swords.","artistMakerPerson":[{"name":{"text":"unknown","id":"A1848"},"association":{"text":"artist","id":"AAT25103"},"note":""}],"artistMakerOrganisations":[{"name":{"text":"Moonshine","id":"AUTH341189"},"association":{"text":"Publisher","id":"x32600"},"note":""}],"artistMakerPeople":[],"materials":[{"text":"printing ink","id":"AAT187371"},{"text":"paper","id":"x30308"}],"techniques":[{"text":"print-making","id":"AAT131119"},{"text":"engraving","id":"AAT53225"}],"materialsAndTechniques":"Engraving on paper","categories":[{"text":"Entertainment & Leisure","id":"THES48959"},{"text":"Prints","id":"THES48903"}],"styles":[],"collectionCode":{"text":"T&P","id":"THES48602"},"images":["2017JT7811"],"imageResolution":"high","galleryLocations":[{"current":{"text":"002","id":"THES356683"},"free":"","case":"","shelf":"","box":""}],"partTypes":[[{"text":"prints","id":"AAT41273"}]],"contentWarnings":[{"apprise":"","note":""}],"placesOfOrigin":[{"place":{"text":"London","id":"x28980"},"association":{"text":"published","id":"x30682"},"note":""}],"productionDates":[{"date":{"text":"1895","earliest":"1895-01-01","latest":"1895-12-31"},"association":{"text":"performed","id":"x43341"},"note":""},{"date":{"text":"January 26th 1895","earliest":"1895-01-26","latest":"1895-01-26"},"association":{"text":"Published","id":"x30682"},"note":""}],"associatedObjects":[],"creditLine":"Gabrielle Enthoven Collection","dimensions":[{"dimension":"Height","value":"24.6","unit":"cm","qualifier":"","date":{"text":"","earliest":null,"latest":null},"part":"","note":""},{"dimension":"Width","value":"17.5","unit":"cm","qualifier":"","date":{"text":"","earliest":null,"latest":null},"part":"","note":""}],"dimensionsNote":"","marksAndInscriptions":[{"content":"JAN. 17, 1895    PALL MALL BUDGET.   7\r\n\r\n\"KING ARTHUR\" AT THE LYCEUM\r\n\r\nTHE TURRET ABOVE THE RIVER AT CAMELOT: FINALE OF ACT III","inscriber":{"name":{"text":"","id":""},"association":{"text":"","id":""}},"date":{"text":"","earliest":null,"latest":null},"description":"","interpretation":"","language":"","medium":"","method":"","position":"","script":"","translation":"","transliteration":"","type":"","note":""}],"objectHistory":"","historicalContext":"","briefDescription":"Caricature print showing scenes from a production of <i>King Arthur</i>, at the Lyceum Theatre, January 12<sup>th</sup> 1895","bibliographicReferences":[],"production":"","productionType":{"text":"","id":""},"contentDescription":"","contentPlaces":[],"associatedPlaces":[],"contentPerson":[{"text":"Henry Irving","id":"N6135"},{"text":"Ellen Terry","id":"N6694"},{"text":"Lena Ashwell","id":"N1458"}],"associatedPerson":[],"contentOrganisations":[],"associatedOrganisations":[],"contentPeople":[],"associatedPeople":[],"contentEvents":[],"associatedEvents":[],"contentOthers":[],"contentConcepts":[],"contentLiteraryRefs":["King Arthur"],"galleryLabels":[],"partNumbers":["S.638-2016"],"accessionNumberNum":"638","accessionNumberPrefix":"S","accessionYear":2016,"otherNumbers":[],"copyNumber":"","aspects":["WHOLE"],"assets":[],"recordModificationDate":"2026-03-22","recordCreationDate":"2016-11-11","availableToBook":true}}
