Preparations for the pantomime by set designer William Beverly. This illustration was drawn by Frederic Villiers and published in 1874.[1]

The first English pantomime was Tavern Bilkers performed at Drury Lane in 1702.[2] This started a popular tradition in which the annual Christmas pantomime at Drury Lane was the foremost entertainment of this kind. The thirty seven pantomimes in the years 1852 to 1888 were all written by E.L. Blanchard.[3]
