EDITORS COMMENTS
This caricature, published in 1880, presents a humorous take on the relationship between a frowning theatre manager and the statue of renowned Victorian actor, Charles Lickfold Warner. The manager, depicted as a stern, mustachioed gentleman with a pince-nez and a coat and waistcoat, seems to be expressing concern over the potential mischief that the statue of Warner, dressed in theatrical attire, could cause. The actor, who graced the stages of London's West End during the late 19th century, was known for his versatile acting abilities and captivating performances. Charles Lickfold Warner, born in 1846, was a celebrated figure in the Victorian theatre scene, with a career that spanned over four decades. His repertoire included both comedic and tragic roles, and his talent was admired by audiences and critics alike. This caricature, titled "Entracte," is a testament to Warner's enduring popularity and the playful nature of the Victorian theatre world. The statue, which appears to be made of bronze, captures the essence of Warner's stage presence, with an expressive face and an air of confidence. The manager, however, seems to be taking no chances, as he holds onto the statue's base with both hands, ensuring that the idol does not run away during the performance. This delightful image offers a glimpse into the world of Victorian theatre, where actors were revered as idols and theatres were a hub of entertainment and creativity.
