EDITORS COMMENTS
This caricature depicts the English actor Charles Lickfold Warner (1846-1909) in his dressing room, preparing for his role on the Victorian stage. The image, created in 1880 by an unknown artist, captures the essence of Warner's theatrical persona with its exaggerated features and humorous touches. Warner's intense focus is evident as he gazes into the mirror, adjusting his pointed shoes and fine attire. The bowl of water and towel at his side suggest the meticulous care he takes with his appearance before each performance. The caricature's title, "entracte," refers to the interlude between acts during a theatrical production, highlighting the importance of the actor's role in keeping the audience engaged. The artist's use of bold lines and exaggerated features adds to the whimsical nature of the caricature, making it a delightful glimpse into the world of Victorian theatre. Warner's expressive face and animated posture convey a sense of energy and excitement, hinting at the passion and drama he brought to the stage. As a respected and prolific actor of his time, Warner graced the stages of London's most prestigious theatres, including the Lyceum and the Adelphi. His career spanned several decades, and he was known for his versatility and ability to play a wide range of roles. This caricature offers a charming and humorous glimpse into the life of a man who dedicated his career to bringing joy and entertainment to audiences.
