EDITORS COMMENTS
This cartoon print, titled 'Cartoon, A new man in Oldacres part,' offers a humorous glimpse into the world of Victorian theatre during the 1880s. The image references the three-act comedy 'The Candidate,' which was playing at the prestigious Criterion Theatre in London during September 15, 1883. The lead role of Lord Oldacre was brilliantly portrayed by the renowned actor and theatre manager, Charles Wyndham. Wyndham, a man of impeccable style and grace, is depicted here in the midst of a lively scene outside the theatre. He is shown donning a top hat, while a stagehand offers him a modern fedora, symbolizing the transition from traditional to contemporary fashion. The caption 'A new man in Oldacres part' suggests that Wyndham was making a bold and innovative move by taking on this new role, which was perhaps a departure from his previous theatrical endeavors. The print also features other men in various stages of dress, some wearing bowler hats and others in more formal attire. The scene outside the theatre door exudes an air of excitement and anticipation, as the audience eagerly awaits the start of the performance. This charming cartoon not only captures the essence of Victorian theatre but also highlights the charisma and versatility of Charles Wyndham as an actor and theatre manager. It is a fascinating snapshot of a bygone era and a testament to the enduring allure of live theatre.
