EDITORS COMMENTS
This caricature depicts the English music hall singer and lion comique, Gilbert Hastings MacDermott, in a humorous and vibrant illustration from 1882. MacDermott, born in 1845, was a popular figure in the Victorian music hall scene, known for his lively performances and unique stage presence. In this image, MacDermott is shown standing boldly before a large music hall flag, nailing his colours to the mast with a hammer and a top. The flag bears the inscription "No theatres for me at Christmas," indicating his commitment to the music hall as his primary stage. Surrounding him are various props and characters, including a sailor named Alfred Bryan, a man holding a ship, and another man with a hammer, all adding to the lively and entertaining atmosphere of the scene. MacDermott's jovial expression and the playful exaggeration of his features in the caricature capture the essence of his charisma and stage personality. The image offers a glimpse into the lively and colorful world of Victorian music halls, where performers like MacDermott brought joy and entertainment to the masses. This caricature, created by Terry Parker and published by Mary Evans Picture Library, offers a fascinating look into the past and the world of music hall entertainment during the 1880s. It serves as a reminder of the important role that performers like MacDermott played in shaping the cultural landscape of their time and continuing the tradition of live entertainment that continues to captivate audiences today.
