EDITORS COMMENTS
This charming mock certificate, dated 1894, bears the Ally Sloper Award of Merit, bestowed upon Joseph Hurst, the esteemed Box Office Manager at London's renowned Lyceum Theatre. The Ally Sloper character, a popular Victorian comic figure, was the creation of English cartoonist and satirist, Richard F. Toutounji. The humorous award, a playful nod to the entertainment industry, features Ally Sloper himself, with a quizzical expression, presenting the certificate to Hurst. The certificate reads, "Presented to Joseph Hurst, in recognition of his meritorious services rendered to the Lyceum Theatre, London." The intricate border of the certificate is adorned with elaborate Victorian-era designs, adding to its antique charm. This postcard, a snapshot of the past, offers a delightful glimpse into the world of Victorian theatre and the playful camaraderie that existed behind the scenes.
