EDITORS COMMENTS
This group photograph, titled "The Romps" and dated October 1912, showcases a lively and energetic troupe of women performers in Preston, Lancashire. The women, dressed in elegant yet playful attire, are seen gathered around a grand piano, their faces radiant with excitement and joy as they prepare to entertain their audience. Among them, the third woman from the right, Vera Vivian, stands out with her confident and engaging expression. The Romps were a popular and much-loved entertainment troupe during the 1910s, known for their unique blend of music, comedy, and dance. Their performances were a breath of fresh air in an era when traditional gender roles dominated society, and they provided a much-needed outlet for women to express their creativity and independence. This photograph offers a rare glimpse into the world of these trailblazing performers, capturing their spirit and energy in a moment of pure joy and camaraderie. The piano, a symbol of musical artistry and sophistication, serves as the centerpiece of the image, underscoring the importance of music in their performances. The Romps' influence extended beyond the stage, inspiring generations of women to pursue their passions and defy societal expectations. This photograph is a testament to their legacy and a reminder of the power of art and creativity to bring people together and challenge the status quo.
