Merrie England by Basil Hood
Promotional postcard for Merrie England by Basil Hood; music Edward German. First produced at the Savoy Theatre, 2nd April 1902. The patriotic story concerns love and rivalries at the court of Queen Elizabeth I, when a love letter sent by Sir Walter Raleigh to one of Queen Elizabeths Ladies in Waiting, Bessie Throckmorton, ends up in the hands of the Queen. Flier for the Hastings and St. Leonards Operatic and Dramatic Society, at the Gaiety Theatre, Hastings 18th April 1912, but the image would almost certainly have already been used for a poster for a professional company. Date: circa 1912
