EDITORS COMMENTS
This caricature depicts the English playwright, John Maddison Morton (1811-1891), in a light-hearted and humorous rendition of his famous theatrical persona. Morton, an accomplished dramatist, is best known for his contributions to the world of Victorian theatre, particularly his one-act farces and comic dramas. Among his most notable works is the enduringly popular play "Box and Cox," first produced in 1847. Morton's career spanned several decades, and his influence on the theatrical landscape of the 1800s was significant. In this image, captured in 1883, Morton is depicted in an entracte setting, surrounded by theatrical paraphernalia and in the company of his contemporaries Alfred Bryan and Victor Albert. The caricature, created by the skilled hand of Terry Parker, captures the essence of Morton's playful and creative spirit. Morton's works, which included farces, comedies, and pantomimes, were known for their wit, humor, and clever plot twists. His ability to entertain audiences and bring joy to the stage made him a beloved figure in the Victorian theatre scene. This caricature serves as a testament to his enduring legacy and the lasting impact he had on the world of English drama. As we gaze upon this image, we are reminded of the rich history of theatre and the remarkable figures who have shaped its evolution. Morton's contributions to the stage continue to be celebrated, and his works remain a source of inspiration for generations of playwrights and performers.
