EDITORS COMMENTS
In this 1880s cartoon, George Parkes, the dapper new manager of London's renowned Elephant and Castle Theatre, is bid farewell by his esteemed colleagues, William Holland and Edwin Villiers, as he embarks on his managerial journey. The trio, all dressed in the fashionable attire of the era, exude an air of sophistication and camaraderie. Parkes, donning a smart bowler hat and holding a cigar, exudes confidence and authority. His counterparts, Holland and Villiers, both wearing top hats and holding canes, offer him a warm and supportive send-off. The Elephant and Castle Theatre, an iconic South London venue, looms in the background, symbolizing the prestige and excitement that comes with leading such a esteemed establishment. The cartoon, titled "Mind how you go, Baron," is a testament to the camaraderie and competition that existed between theatre managers during the Victorian era. It also highlights the importance of theatre in Victorian society and the role of its managers in shaping the cultural landscape of the time. This charming image, by Terry Parker and available through Mary Evans Picture Library, offers a glimpse into the past, providing a fascinating insight into the world of Victorian theatre management and the relationships that existed between its key players.
