EDITORS COMMENTS
This caricature depicts Harold Kyrle Money Bellew, a British actor in the prime of his career, during a Shakespearean tour in Glasgow around 1880. The image captures Bellew in an entracte, or intermission, moment, as he wipes away tears from his eyes while standing beneath a tree, deep in thought. The audience is left wondering about the intensity of his performance on stage. Bellew's youthful good looks are on full display in this illustration, with his long, wavy hair, feathered hat, and expressive features. He is dressed in the traditional attire of the time, including a long coat, tights, and a dagger at his side. The caricature's title, "This young actor is too good-looking to be thrown away on a Glasgow audience," speaks to the perception that Bellew's talents were being underutilized in provincial theatres. The Victorian era's theatre scene was characterized by extensive touring companies, with actors traveling from city to city to perform for diverse audiences. Bellew's presence in Glasgow was likely part of this tradition, and this caricature serves as a testament to his enduring appeal and the impact of his performances, even during a brief intermission. This image, created by Terry Parker and held in the Mary Evans Picture Library, offers a glimpse into the world of 19th-century theatre and the dedication of actors like Harold Kyrle Money Bellew, who brought Shakespeare's works to life for audiences across the country.
