EDITORS COMMENTS
This enchanting print from 1921 showcases a lively assembly of caricatures depicting some of the esteemed associates of the Garrick Club, an exclusive social club founded in 1831 for the patronage of the drama. The gathering includes Sir Squire Bancroft, one of the trustees, Lord Burnham, another trustee, Gerall du Maurier, Seymour Hicks, Sir John Hare, and Sir Arthur Pinero. Each figure is captured in a satirical and humorous light, reflecting the playful spirit of the club and its connection to the world of theatre. The Garrick Club, a bastion of entertainment and creativity, has long been a hub for influential figures in the arts. In this image, we see Sir Squire Bancroft, a prominent figure in the legal world, depicted with a quill pen and a stack of legal documents, while Lord Burnham, a nobleman, is shown with a monocle and a cigar. Gerall du Maurier, a renowned actor and playwright, is caricatured with a theatrical mask, and Seymour Hicks, a popular actor and theatre manager, is shown with a top hat and a cane. Sir John Hare, a distinguished actor, is depicted with a pompous expression, and Sir Arthur Pinero, a prolific playwright, is shown with a quill pen and a stack of plays. This delightful print, created in 1921, offers a glimpse into the vibrant social scene of the Garrick Club during the 1920s, a time of artistic innovation and cultural flourishing. The caricatures serve as a testament to the enduring connection between the Garrick Club and the world of theatre, and the playful spirit that continues to define the club to this day.
