EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a moment in time at The Savoy, published in The Entr'acte on March 31st, 1894. In this engraving by the English School of the 19th century, we see George Grossmith Jnr. and Richard D Oyly Carte engaged in conversation. George Grossmith Jnr. , a prominent British actor, theatre producer, director, playwright, and songwriter is depicted wearing a stylish top hat and fur coat. Meanwhile, Richard D Oyly Carte stands beside him in a distinguished frock coat. D Oyly Carte was not only an English talent agent but also a theatrical impresario, composer, and hotelier who played an instrumental role in building The Savoy Theatre and Hotel. The caption humorously portrays their relationship as Grossmith asks D Oyly Carte if he should come give him a leg-up again. This playful banter showcases their camaraderie within the world of theater. The illustration itself exudes Victorian charm with its oval shape and fashionable style. It serves as both a portrait and caricature capturing the essence of these gentlemen's personalities. This remarkable piece from the private collection offers insight into the vibrant world of entertainment during that era while showcasing the talents of two influential figures in British theater history.
