Departure of Henry Irving for America
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating and humorous cartoon from the 1880s, published in the satirical magazine "Entracte" on August 18, 1883. The image depicts a group of men, all wearing top hats, gathered at the dockside to bid farewell to the renowned actor-manager, Henry Irving, as he embarks on a tour of America. Henry Irving, portrayed in the center of the image, is shown wearing a top hat and holding a large traveling bag. His expression is one of determination and excitement, as he sets off on this new venture. The other men in the image, including Barry Sullivan, John Coleman, Sennet, and Bryan, all wear similar hats and express various emotions - some look envious, others resigned, and a few seem excited for the opportunities that Henry's departure may bring. The caption of the cartoon reads, "With Henry leaving, there is a fine chance for some of our legitimate actors," indicating that Henry's departure from London's Royal Theatre may open up new opportunities for other actors to take leading roles and gain recognition. The rivalry and competition among actors during the Victorian era is also hinted at in the image, as the men jostle for position and gaze at Henry with varying degrees of admiration and envy. Overall, this charming and witty cartoon provides a fascinating glimpse into the world of Victorian theatre and the intense rivalry and competition among actors during this period. It is a reminder of the human drama that often played out behind the scenes, as much as on the stage.
