EDITORS COMMENTS
This caricature depicts Charles Morton, a renowned theatre and music hall manager of the late Victorian era, standing confidently before the iconic Connaught Theatre in the heart of London during the 1880s. Morton, dressed in a smart top hat and overcoat, holds an umbrella in one hand and a key and lock in the other, symbolizing his role as an impresario and the opening of a new production. Charles Morton (1819-1904) was a prominent figure in the entertainment industry, known for his tenure at the Connaught Theatre, which was a popular venue for both theatre and music hall performances. Morton's success can be attributed to his innovative programming and ability to attract top talent, including the famous comedian Alfred Bryan and the acclaimed singer Alfred Morley. The caricature captures Morton's distinctive whiskers and the era's fashionable attire, while the background of the Connaught Theatre adds to the scene's charm and authenticity. This print, created in the entracte style, provides a glimpse into the vibrant and lively world of Victorian theatre and entertainment, making it a fascinating addition to any collection.
