EDITORS COMMENTS
In the heart of Victorian London, amidst the bustling theatrical scene, concerns over safety and security were ever-present. In 1881, theatregoers' minds were put at ease with an unexpected yet ingenious solution: the formation of the Managers Fire Brigade. This intriguing cartoon, published in an 1881 issue of "Entr'acte," depicts some of London's most esteemed theatre managers, including Alfred Bryan, John Hollingshead, Augustus Harris, and Bancroft, donning fireman uniforms and preparing to tackle a fire with hoses. The image is a testament to the proactive measures taken by theatre managers to ensure the safety and wellbeing of their patrons. Dressed in full fireman regalia, complete with helmets and hosepipes, these gentlemen were ready to spring into action should an emergency arise. The cartoon, created by Terry Parker for Mary Evans Picture Library, captures the spirit of the times – a time when community, collaboration, and innovation came together to address the challenges of the day. This striking image offers a fascinating glimpse into the 1880s, a period when safety regulations were increasingly being implemented across various industries, including theatre. The Managers Fire Brigade was a symbol of the theatre community's commitment to protecting the public and ensuring that the theatrical experience remained a source of enjoyment and escape for all. This cartoon serves as a reminder of the unique ways in which the past addressed the concerns of its time, paving the way for the modern safety measures we take for granted today.
