EDITORS COMMENTS
In this cartoon from October 1883, legendary actor-manager Henry Irving sets off on his American tour, bidding farewell to his homeland as he embarks on an exciting new journey. Dressed in Victorian finery, Mr. Irving is seen meticulously packing his bags, ensuring every prop and essential item is accounted for. Two men assist him, their expressions a mix of awe and anticipation, reflecting the immense impact Irving had on the theatrical world. The year was 1883, and the United States beckoned, offering Irving an opportunity to showcase his exceptional talent and captivate audiences on American soil. The cartoon, titled "Entracte," by Bryan, beautifully captures the essence of this momentous occasion. Irving's reputation as a masterful actor and innovative manager preceded him, and the anticipation for his American visit was palpable. As the cartoonist skillfully depicts, the act of packing represents more than just preparing for a journey; it symbolizes the culmination of years of dedication and hard work, the beginning of a new chapter in Irving's illustrious career. With a determined look in his eyes and a suitcase brimming with theatrical treasures, Henry Irving sets sail for America, ready to leave an indelible mark on the American stage.
