Two Ladies from The Beggar's Opera
Polly Peachum and Lucy Lockett — the heroine and her rival, both introduced in the 1920s, now at the gallery. Watch Ed present them.
Ed just recorded a short presentation on two Royal Doulton figurines from the 1920s — both characters from The Beggar's Opera, a play that ran for years in London's theatre district.Royal Doulton made many figures from that production.
Ed shows two, and explains why the company built collectible series — the reason people still collect Royal Doulton today.
