Victorian London - Christy Minstrels

Vintage engraving showing a scene from 19th Century London England. The Christy Minstrels playing on stage. They opened in London, England as " Raynor & Pierces Christy Minstrels" at the St. Jamess Theatre on 3 August 1857. They then performed at the Surrey Theatre and later the " Polygraphic Hall" on King William Street, where they appeared for ten months. " Nellie Grey" by Michael Balfe, as sung by Raynor, became popular. In 1859, the troupe moved to the St. Jamess Hall (Liverpool), performing for another four months and then touring the British provinces. It then returned to Polygraphic Hall, disbanding in August 1860. The success of this troupe led to the phrase " Christy Minstrels" coming to mean any blackface minstrel show
