EDITORS COMMENTS
In this intriguing cartoon from the 1880s, Wilson Barrett, a prominent actor, manager, and playwright of the Victorian era, is depicted deep in thought as he contemplates the potential opportunity before him. With Henry Irving, a leading actor of the time, currently absent from London during his visit to America, Barrett, with his distinctive long nose and furrowed brow, ponders whether to seize the vacancy and take Irving's place. The cartoon, titled "Entracte," was published on January 19, 1884, and captures the competitive nature of the acting world during the late Victorian era. Barrett's determination and ambition are evident in his intense expression, as he weighs the risks and rewards of making a bold move in Irving's absence. The cartoon serves as a fascinating glimpse into the world of Victorian theater, where talent, ambition, and opportunity intersected in a dynamic and ever-changing landscape.
