EDITORS COMMENTS
This caricature depicts Edward Stirling, a versatile figure in Victorian theatre, in the prime of his elderly years. Born in 1809, Stirling made a name for himself as an actor, dramatist, adapter, and stage manager. His impressive career spanned several London theatres, most notably Drury Lane. In this playful image, Stirling is shown donning a long, double-breasted coat, topped with a high-collared shirt and a bowler hat. He clutches an umbrella in one hand and wears a smirk on his face, as if in the midst of a clever quip. The caricature is reminiscent of the interludes, or entr'actes, that were a common feature of Victorian theatre. These brief performances, often comedic in nature, provided entertainment during scene changes. Stirling's attire, with its distinct Victorian flair, further emphasizes the era in which he thrived. The top hat, a symbol of status and sophistication during this time, sits atop his head, while the buttons on his coat gleam in the light. The presence of two hats in the image, one under his arm and one in his hand, adds a touch of whimsy and intrigue. Alfred Bryan, a renowned caricaturist of the 1880s, is believed to be the artist behind this work. Bryan's skillful brushstrokes bring Stirling to life, immortalizing his legacy in a way that continues to entertain and intrigue audiences today.
