EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph, titled "The Japanese Players at the Criterion, Scene from Act II of 'The Geisha and the Knight'" transports us to a mesmerizing moment in Japanese theatre. Created by Samuel Begg in 1901, this print captures a scene filled with drama and intrigue. In this illustration for The Illustrated London News, we witness an enchanting performance unfolding on stage. The setting is a Buddhist monastery known as Ji Dojo, where the geisha and the knight find themselves entangled in a complex narrative. The attention to detail in Begg's work allows us to immerse ourselves fully into this theatrical world. The composition showcases the skillful artistry of Madame Sada Yacco and her troupe of Japanese players. Their vibrant costumes and expressive gestures bring life to their characters, evoking emotions that resonate with viewers even after all these years. As we gaze upon this litho print from our private collection, we are reminded of the rich cultural exchange between Japan and London during that era. It serves as a testament to how art can transcend borders and captivate audiences across different continents. "The Japanese Players at the Criterion" invites us to appreciate not only the beauty of traditional Japanese theatre but also its ability to transport us into another realm where imagination reigns supreme.
