EDITORS COMMENTS
This delightful caricature captures the playful camaraderie between music hall performers James Fawn and Arthur Roberts during their comic duet in the 1881 Drury Lane pantomime, Mother Goose. The enthralling image, created in the Victorian era, showcases the duo in their prime, with Fawn donning a top hat and Roberts sporting a pair of hats stacked precariously on his head. The satirical Mother Goose production, which took place during the 1880s, poked fun at the media and its influence on society. James Fawn, born in 1850, was a renowned comedian and singer, while Arthur Roberts, born in 1852, was an accomplished comedian and actor. Their duet, "Goodness Gracious," brought laughter and joy to audiences, making them a popular act in the music hall scene. The caricature beautifully encapsulates their comedic chemistry, with both men smiling and laughing, their faces filled with humour and merriment. The satirical nature of the pantomime extended to the media, press, news, and newspapers, which were often targets of ridicule. The duo's performance in Mother Goose allowed them to poke fun at the power and influence of the media, providing a lighthearted commentary on the societal issues of the time. This caricature serves as a testament to the duo's talent and the power of comedy to entertain and provoke thought.
