EDITORS COMMENTS
- A Heartfelt Farewell in the Late Victorian Era of Theatre (Mary Evans Picture Library, Mary Anderson - Cartoon, Stage Amenities, 1885) In the late Victorian era of the 1880s, the world of theatre was a captivating and competitive landscape, filled with talent, rivalry, and the allure of stardom. Among the many actresses who graced the stages of America and England, Mary Anderson stood out as a beloved and respected figure. This charming cartoon, titled "Cartoon, Stage Amenities, Mary Anderson - So sorry you are going, dear!" by an unknown artist, captures the essence of the bittersweet moment of farewell as Mary Anderson prepares to depart for her next engagement. The scene is set backstage, where the actress is surrounded by her trunks and luggage, her hat adorned with elegant feathers atop her head. The cartoon's title, "So sorry you are going, dear!" is a poignant reminder of the close relationships that often developed between actors and their audiences. The sentiment is shared by a fellow actor, Alfred Bryan, who is depicted in the background, offering a sympathetic nod as he watches Mary pack up her belongings. The cartoon also highlights the amenities of the time, with a grand piano and a well-stocked bar visible in the background, reflecting the luxurious lifestyle enjoyed by some of the more successful actors and actresses of the era. As Mary Anderson takes her leave, she carries with her the memories of the applause, the adoration, and the camaraderie of her fellow actors. And though she may be gone, her presence and talent will continue to be remembered on the stages of America and England for generations to come.
