EDITORS COMMENTS
This caricature depicts Joseph Knight, a prominent English drama critic and theatre historian of the Victorian era. Drawn in 1880, the image captures Knight's distinguished appearance with his bushy beard, donning a top hat and a formal coat. He is seated in the theatre, surrounded by numbered seats, engrossed in the performance. The caricature humorously portrays Knight's intense focus, with his eyes bulging and a quill pen clenched tightly in his hand. Joseph Knight was a prolific figure in the London theatre scene, contributing to various newspapers as a drama critic and making a significant impact on the press and media landscape of his time. His astute analysis and insightful commentary on theatrical productions shaped public opinion and influenced the direction of theatre in the 1880s and beyond. This caricature is a testament to Knight's dedication and passion for the arts. The entracte, or intermission, provides a momentary break from the theatrical performance, but for Knight, it seems there is no pause in his pursuit of understanding and critiquing the world of drama. The presence of Alfred Bryan, another well-known drama critic, in the background adds an intriguing layer to the image, suggesting a friendly rivalry or camaraderie between the two esteemed critics.
