Scene in "The Yellow Dwarf", at Covent Garden Theatre, 1870. London stage production. 'We have already given a portion of the action that accompanies the great scene, by Mr. W. Telbin, of "the Steel Castle," in Mr. Byron's pantomime at Covent Garden; but the scene itself is of such exceptional grandeur that, for the sake of a more elaborate Illustration of Mr. Telbin's merits in the pictorial department of it, we again bring it into distinct notice. Its beauty will repay examination as a work of art; and the reader who has not seen the pantomime may imagine its brilliancy on the stage. The action which it represents succeeds the fight between Twitterino and the Watch-dog...our present Engraving portrays the combat between the Amazonian furies and an army of Cupids, under the direction of the little god himself, in which he is ultimately triumphant, which for grouping and theatrical accessories is as complete as it can be made. The pantomime throughout is excellent in regard to scenery; but this one special scene is of such remarkable merit and rare magnificence that it deserves to be distinguished among the achievements of the season'. From "Illustrated London News", 1870.
