EDITORS COMMENTS
This caricature, titled "Is he a little stage-struck?", depicts Edward, Prince of Wales, in a thoughtful and pensive moment at the stage door of a theatre in 1883. Dressed in formal attire and donning a top hat, the future King Edward VII (1841-1910) exudes an air of regal sophistication, yet his gaze is fixed on the door as if longing for a glimpse of the theatrical world beyond. The Victorian era, known for its rigid social norms and etiquette, saw the monarchy maintain a certain distance from popular entertainment. However, the Prince's fascination with the theatre was an open secret. He was a well-known patron of the arts and a regular attendee of various theatrical performances. This caricature, created by renowned illustrator Alfred Bryan, captures the Prince's intrigue and allure towards the world of entertainment. The artist's skilled brushstrokes bring to life the subtle nuances of the Prince's expression, hinting at his inner thoughts and desires. The image is a testament to the Prince's complex character and his ability to transcend the expectations of his time. The theatre stage door served as a symbol of excitement, mystery, and the allure of the unknown for the Prince. This caricature encapsulates a moment in time, offering a glimpse into the personal life of a future monarch and his fascination with the world of entertainment.
