EDITORS COMMENTS
This caricature portrays the English actor and theatre manager Edward Terry in an amusing moment during an interlude, as he plays a flute backstage. Drawn by an unknown artist around 1880, the image captures Terry in a more casual and unguarded setting, contrasting his public persona as a respected and accomplished performer. Terry, born in 1844, was a versatile actor who graced the Victorian stage in various roles, from tragic leads to comedic parts. He was also known for his successful tenure as a theatre manager, overseeing productions at several prominent London theatres. In this playful depiction, Terry is shown wearing shabby clothes and a hat, suggesting a break from the formal attire typically associated with his on-stage appearances. The man behind the caricature masterfully captures the essence of Terry's character, highlighting his expressive face and the quirky posture that adds to the overall charm of the image. The presence of a pipe and a flute further emphasizes Terry's multifaceted talents, showcasing his versatility both as an actor and a musician. The caricature serves as a delightful reminder of the lighter moments behind the curtain during the 1880s, when theatre was a primary source of entertainment for the Victorian public. This print invites us to appreciate the human side of an influential figure in the world of Victorian theatre, offering a glimpse into the life of Edward Terry, the man behind the stage persona.
