EDITORS COMMENTS
This cartoon, titled "Cartoon, Messrs W Riley and W T Purkiss - Arranging the next tour," dates back to January 23, 1886, and is a delightful glimpse into the late Victorian era. The image features two men, Alfred Riley and W.T. Purkiss, deep in conversation while meticulously arranging a tour. The setting is simple yet evocative, with the men seated at a table adorned with maps, travel guides, and other touring paraphernalia. Riley, the taller of the two, wears a top hat and a serious expression, while Purkiss, with a more relaxed demeanor, dons a bowler hat and smokes a pipe. Both men are dressed in formal attire, adding to the elegance of the scene. The cartoon's title, "Arranging the next tour," suggests that Riley and Purkiss are planning their next venture as touring performers or agents. The use of the word "cartoon" in the title is intriguing, as it could refer to the visual nature of the image or to the men's profession as creators of comic art. This charming print offers a glimpse into the world of touring entertainment during the late 1800s, a time when men like Riley and Purkiss would travel from town to town, bringing laughter and excitement to audiences. The image captures the camaraderie and dedication required to make such a venture successful, making it a fascinating window into the past.
