EDITORS COMMENTS
In this caricature from the 1880s, Alexander Henderson, the charismatic and innovative theatre owner, is depicted in a humorous light by the skilled hand of artist Terry Parker. The image, titled "Caricature of Alexander Henderson, Theatre Owner. If he had played Rip van Winkle, would people have been got to believe he had been asleep for twenty years? 1883," showcases Henderson's distinctive appearance and the unique energy that made him a standout figure in the Victorian theatre scene. Dressed in the fashionable attire of the era, Henderson dons a stylish bowler hat adorned with a band, and his bushy moustache curls up at the ends, framing his face. His suit, complete with a crisp shirt and vest, exudes an air of confidence and authority. However, the caricature suggests that beneath this polished exterior lies a man who may have been away from the bustling world of theatre management for an extended period. The title of the caricature playfully references Rip Van Winkle, the famous character from Washington Irving's short story who famously falls asleep for twenty years and wakes up to a transformed world. Henderson's sleepy expression and disheveled appearance, in contrast to his formal attire, add to the amusing comparison. Despite the lighthearted tone, this caricature highlights the significant impact Alexander Henderson had on the theatre world during the Victorian era. His vision and dedication to the arts left an indelible mark on the industry, and even in a moment of playful mockery, his influence shines through. This image, brought to life by Terry Parker's artistic talent, offers a unique glimpse into the past and the enduring legacy of a remarkable man.
