EDITORS COMMENTS
The satirical engraving titled "Mrs Prowlina Pry - I hope I don't intrude!" captures a humorous moment in the 19th century London theater scene. Created by an anonymous English School artist and featured in Punch magazine on October 27,1894, this caricature offers a scathing satire of societal norms. In the image, we see Mrs Prowlina Pry, impeccably dressed in her uniform as an usher at the Empire Theatre. With a mischievous grin on her face, she appears to be interrupting a play or performance. The cartoon cleverly plays with the idea of intrusion and highlights Mrs Prowlina's audacity as she disrupts the stage. This satirical drawing not only mocks Mrs Prowlina's actions but also comments on the pretentiousness and self-importance often associated with those who hold positions of authority. The exaggerated clothing worn by Mrs Prowlina further emphasizes this point. The artist behind this piece demonstrates their skill in capturing both humor and critique through their detailed engravings. This print from Fine Art Finder allows us to appreciate their craftsmanship while offering insight into the social dynamics of Victorian London theaters.
