EDITORS COMMENTS
This cartoon, titled 'They are getting the water out of the Criterion with all speed,' depicts a scene of frenzied activity at the Criterion Theatre in Piccadilly, London during the late 1880s. The Victorian-era theatre had recently experienced flooding, and in the foreground, we see renowned actor and theatre manager Charles Wyndham (1837-1919) wringing out a paddle while Henry James Byron (1835-1884), another actor, mops up the water with a large bucket. Byron's bandaged head and wet face, along with his moustache, add a sense of authenticity to the image. The men work diligently to remove the water from the stage, ensuring that the theatre can reopen as soon as possible. The flooding was likely caused by heavy rain or a water main break, but the resilience and determination of the theatre staff are evident in this humorous and engaging cartoon. This snapshot from the past offers a fascinating glimpse into the behind-the-scenes world of Victorian theatre and the camaraderie between its performers and managers.
