EDITORS COMMENTS
This cartoon, titled "Cartoon, The London Pavilion: Mr. Villiers' New Drum," dates back to November 28, 1885, and offers a humorous glimpse into the grand opening of the newly built London Pavilion music hall de luxe at Piccadilly Circus. The London Pavilion, owned by the esteemed Robert Edwin Villiers, was a popular entertainment venue of the late Victorian era, known for its extravagant productions and luxurious amenities. In this cartoon, we see a man proudly brandishing a top hat adorned with the London Pavilion insignia, while another man, dressed in a top hat and tails, holds a drum and drumstick aloft. The caption "Mr. Villiers' New Drum" suggests that the man with the hat is none other than the music hall's owner, Robert Edwin Villiers, who is enthusiastically announcing the opening of his new establishment. The cartoon's playful tone and intricate detail capture the excitement and energy of the time, with Alfred Bryan, a renowned cartoonist of the era, skillfully depicting the fashionable attire and lively atmosphere of the London Pavilion. This enchanting image offers a fascinating glimpse into the past, providing a window into the world of late 19th-century entertainment and the charisma of its colorful characters. The London Pavilion, with its innovative productions and commitment to providing a luxurious experience for its patrons, quickly became a beloved fixture of Piccadilly Circus and a symbol of the vibrant cultural scene of the late Victorian era. This cartoon serves as a testament to the enduring allure of the London Pavilion and the era in which it thrived.
