EDITORS COMMENTS
This caricature, created by the skilled hand of Terry Parker, depicts two prominent figures of the Victorian era: English novelist, playwright, and short story writer, Wilkie Collins (left, 1824-1889), and actor-manager, Edgar Bruce (right, 1845?-1901). The image captures the essence of an intriguing moment during the production of Collins' play, "Rank and Riches," which took place at the Adelphi Theatre in London during the 1880s. Collins, known for his gripping mystery novels, such as "The Woman in White" and "The Moonstone," attempted to make his mark on the stage with "Rank and Riches." However, the production failed to impress audiences, running for only six performances. In this caricature, Collins is seen donning a top hat, a common accessory of the time, while Bruce, the actor-manager, towers over him, possibly symbolizing the success Bruce had on stage. Collins' manuscript, "Rank and Riches," is shown in the foreground, adding an interesting layer to the image. The caricature, titled "Entr'acte: Wilkie Collins and Edgar Bruce," is a fascinating glimpse into the world of Victorian literature and theatre, showcasing the camaraderie and competition between the two men. This image provides a unique insight into the lives of these two influential figures and the challenges they faced in their respective fields.
