EDITORS COMMENTS
This delightful caricature captures the essence of an intriguing moment between two influential figures of the Victorian theatre world: George Joseph Edwardes and Edward Litt Laman Blanchard. Drawn in 1882 by an unknown artist for The Era, the image finds Edwardes, a prominent English theatre manager and producer, and Blanchard, a prolific dramatist, drama critic, and writer, engaged in a lively conversation at Edwardes' office. Edwardes, with his bushy moustache and whiskers, sits at his desk, surrounded by the detritus of a busy day: papers scattered on the desk and in the wastepaper basket. He gestures animatedly towards Blanchard, who stands with a quill pen in hand, poised to take notes or jot down ideas. The two men's intense focus on each other suggests a productive exchange of ideas, perhaps discussing a new play or production. Blanchard, with his neatly trimmed beard and monocle, is a striking contrast to Edwardes' disheveled appearance. His attire, consisting of a frock coat and top hat, adds to the overall Victorian atmosphere of the scene. The caricature's title, "Entr'acte," suggests that this moment of conversation takes place during a theatrical intermission, further emphasizing the connection between these two men and the world of theatre. This charming caricature offers a glimpse into the dynamic relationship between Edwardes and Blanchard, highlighting their roles as key figures in the Victorian theatre scene and their shared passion for the art form.
