EDITORS COMMENTS
In this delightful Victorian-era caricature by Terry Parker, we find English journalist George Augustus Henry Sala (1828-1895) engaged in an amusing exchange with a plump, irritated shopkeeper. The scene takes place in a quaint shop, adorned with a colorful sign and filled with an array of goods, including a prominent display of tea. The shopkeeper, wearing an apron and a top hat adorned with a flower, approaches Sala, who is depicted in his signature plump waistcoat, puffing on a cigar and leaning on a cane. The shopkeeper, with a look of annoyance on his face, asks Sala if he might supply a quotable remark about his brand of tea for publicity purposes. Sala, seemingly annoyed by the interruption and perhaps a bit insulted, responds with an air of dismissiveness, "What it may come to!" The shopkeeper, taken aback by Sala's curt response, looks both surprised and disappointed. Despite the apparent tension between the two, the caricature exudes a sense of humor and lightheartedness. The scene captures the essence of the 1880s, with its focus on advertising, trade, and the importance of a good quote or endorsement for business success. The image also highlights the role of journalists like Sala, who held significant influence and power in shaping public opinion through their writings. Overall, this charming caricature offers a glimpse into the past, showcasing the quirks and nuances of Victorian society.
