EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the essence of C.W. Thompson, a remarkable gentleman of the Victorian era, taken on August 25, 1883. Thompson was a renowned cartoonist, best known for his invaluable contributions to actors' benefits during the 1880s. His wit and artistic talent brought joy and laughter to countless audiences, but it was his generosity and benevolence that truly set him apart. In this image, Thompson is seen dressed in formal evening attire, donning a crisp white shirt, black bowtie, and a charming smile. He holds a stack of papers in his hands, carefully examining their contents with great concentration. The atmosphere is one of quiet intensity, as if he is preparing for an important speech or presentation. The setting, with its dimly lit room and ornate decor, further emphasizes the sense of occasion. Thompson's role in fundraising for actors in need was a testament to his compassion and commitment to the arts. His cartoons were not only entertaining, but they also served as a means of raising awareness and support for those less fortunate in the theatrical community. This photograph is a poignant reminder of a time when the power of art and the generosity of a few could make a significant difference in people's lives. As we admire this image, we are reminded of the enduring impact of Thompson's work and the legacy of kindness and support he left behind in the world of theatre.
