Sir Affable

EDITORS COMMENTS
Alec Knowles: A Dapper Theatrical Journalist of the Late Victorian Era This photograph captures the essence of "Sir Affable" Alec Knowles (1851-1917), a renowned theatrical journalist and esteemed member of London's notorious Pelican Club. In the late 1890s, Knowles graced the pages of The Haw, a smart and sophisticated newspaper for the discerning reader. The image reveals a dapper gentleman in formal evening attire, donning a top hat adorned with a silk band and a characteristic moustache. His elegant silk shirt, crisp collar, and cuffs, along with his polished shoes, exude an air of refinement and sophistication. A cigar clenched between his fingers adds a touch of nonchalant charm. As a theatrical critic and journalist, Knowles was a respected voice in the London theatre scene. His reviews were sought after for their insightful commentary and wit. The Haw's readership appreciated his ability to provide thoughtful critiques while maintaining a light-hearted and entertaining tone. The Pelican Club, a notorious establishment known for its bohemian and artistic inhabitants, was the perfect setting for Knowles to mingle with the movers and shakers of the theatrical world. His membership in this exclusive club further solidified his status as an influential figure in London's cultural landscape. This photograph, taken in the late 1890s, offers a glimpse into the life of a charismatic and influential theatrical journalist from the Victorian era. Alec Knowles, affectionately known as "Sir Affable," left an indelible mark on the history of London's theatre scene and continues to be remembered as a dapper, dandy, and charming figure from the 19th century.
