EDITORS COMMENTS
This cartoon portrait captures the essence of Edward Litt Laman Blanchard (1820-1889), an English writer, dramatist, and drama critic, during the 1880s. Blanchard is best known for his contributions to Drury Lane pantomimes, a popular form of entertainment during the late Victorian era in London. The annual pantomimes at Drury Lane Theatre were a much-anticipated event, and Blanchard's enchanting scripts brought joy and laughter to generations of audiences. In this profile view of the cartoon portrait, Blanchard is depicted with a thoughtful expression, suggesting the depth of creativity and imagination that went into crafting his beloved pantomimes. The entracte, or intermission, image features Blanchard in profile, surrounded by theatrical elements such as a curtain, footlights, and a quill pen and inkwell, symbolizing his role as a writer and dramatist. Alfred Bryan, a renowned English cartoonist, is believed to have created this charming and whimsical illustration. Blanchard's pantomimes were a staple of London theatre during the 1880s, and his influence on the genre can still be felt today. This cartoon portrait offers a glimpse into the life and work of a man who brought magic and wonder to the stage, leaving a lasting impact on the world of theatre and entertainment.
