• Lot Description:
  GILBERT & SULLIVAN COME TO WILLIAMSTOWN - “IOLANTHE” Melbourne Amateur Opera Club
  1892 Letterpress, 58 x 30cm. Linen-backed. Text continues “Will give their fourth performance of Messrs. Gilbert and Sullivan’s fairy opera...at the Mechanics’ Institute, Williamstown [Vic.], Mon., Aug. 1st, 1892. Anderson and Hartley, 337 Flinders Lane, Melbourne.”
• Notes:
  The opera satirises many aspects of British government, law and society. The confrontation between the fairies and the peers is a version of one of Gilbert’s favourite themes: a tranquil civilisation of women is disrupted by a male-dominated world through the discovery of mortal love.
