EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the moment of joy and connection between renowned pantomime artist Will Evans and his two delightful children. Will Evans, born in 1866, was an eccentric comedian who began his career in pantomime at a young age and graced the music halls in the 1890s. Known for his solo sketches, "Papering A House" and "Whitewashing A Ceiling," Evans' unique brand of comedy brought laughter and entertainment to audiences. In this image, Evans sits at a grand piano, dressed in a tweed suit jacket and trousers, with his children seated on either side of him. The children, dressed in their Sunday best, appear enchanted by their father's performance, their smiles beaming with delight. The house in the background adds a touch of domesticity to the scene, further emphasizing the bond between the artist and his family. Evans' comedic career was marked by his solo performances, but this photograph offers a rare glimpse into his life outside the spotlight. The piano, a common instrument in music hall entertainment, serves as a reminder of the musical aspect of Evans' act, as well as his role as a devoted father. The children's rapt attention to their father's playing is a testament to the love and connection that existed between them, making this photograph a beautiful and poignant reminder of the personal side of this famous comedian.
