EDITORS COMMENTS
This illustration, titled 'Between Performances,' transports us back to the year 1907 and offers a glimpse into the world of a theatrical company during the holiday season. The scene unfolds on a grand stage, where actors and actresses are seen engaged in various activities, taking a break from their rehearsals and performances. At the far left of the illustration, a beautifully decorated Christmas tree steals the show. The tree is adorned with ornaments inspired by the beloved characters from Harriet Beecher Stowe's novel "Uncle Tom's Cabin." Topping the tree is an angel labeled 'Haley,' while moving down the tree, we find a playing card spade labeled 'Marks,' a black doll labeled 'Simon Legree,' a champagne bottle labeled 'Mrs. Ophelia,' a bottle of face powder labeled 'Topsey,' a dog labeled 'Eliza,' and at the bottom, a whip labeled 'Uncle Tom.'
