EDITORS COMMENTS
This caricature depicts the renowned Victorian actress Charlotte Saunders in the character of Deborah Barton from Frank Harvey's melodrama, "Woman Against Woman," performed in 1881. In this entracte, or interlude between acts, Saunders captivates the audience with her dramatic portrayal of a middle-aged woman embroiled in a bitter rivalry. Dressed in the fashionable attire of the 1880s, Saunders dons a stylish bonnet and carries an umbrella, adding to the theatricality of the scene. Her expressive face, captured in this caricature by the skilled hand of Terry Parker, reveals a deep intensity and emotion, reflecting the turmoil of her character. The melancholic and somber expression on Saunders' face contrasts sharply with the vibrant colors and exaggerated features of the caricature, highlighting the comedic and satirical nature of the artwork. Despite the exaggerated features, Saunders' likeness is unmistakable, showcasing the artist's exceptional talent. At the height of her career, Saunders was a celebrated figure in the London theatre scene. Her performances in melodramas, such as "Woman Against Woman," were renowned for their emotional depth and captivating intensity. This caricature serves as a testament to Saunders' enduring legacy as a talented and beloved actress of the Victorian era.
