EDITORS COMMENTS
Caricature: George Bickerdike, the Good Samaritan to the Actor (1884) - August 30, 1884 This charming caricature, titled "George Bickerdike, the Good Samaritan to the Actor," was created by an unknown artist in 1884 and published by Bryan, Entracte. The image captures the kind-hearted and benevolent nature of George Bickerdike, a man who made a significant impact on the Victorian theatre community. Bickerdike, depicted here wearing a top hat and holding a smart bag, was known for his generosity towards struggling actors. He would often hand out money to those in need, providing a much-needed financial boost to help them continue their careers. His acts of kindness were not limited to just financial support, as he was also known to lend coats to actors during cold performances. The caricature shows Bickerdike in his element, surrounded by a group of grateful actors, each expressing their gratitude with a heartfelt gesture. One actor holds out a hat in thanks, while another reaches into his pocket to offer a coin. The image is a testament to the power of kindness and the positive impact it can have on people's lives. The 1880s were a time of great change and innovation in the theatre world, and Bickerdike's acts of charity were a beacon of hope and support for many struggling actors during this period. This caricature serves as a reminder of the importance of kindness and generosity, and the profound impact they can have on the lives of others.
