EDITORS COMMENTS
This caricature depicts Arthur Roberts, a renowned music hall and pantomime performer of the Victorian era, as he prepares for his retirement in 1882. Roberts, a thin, elderly man with a top hat perched atop his head, is seen leaning on railings, deep in thought while reading a notice in a window. The scene takes place on a bustling street, with passersby and other performers, including Alfred Bryan and Jennings, going about their business on the pavement below. Arthur Roberts, born in 1852, was a popular figure in the music hall scene during the 1880s. Known for his good nature and charming demeanor, he captivated audiences with his performances and left a lasting impression on all who saw him. In this image, we see him in a rare moment of contemplation, perhaps reflecting on the many years of success and the impending end of his career. The caricature, created by an unknown artist, captures the essence of Roberts' character and the spirit of the era. The use of bold lines and exaggerated features adds to the humor and charm of the image, making it a delightful addition to any collection of Victorian-era memorabilia. As Roberts bids farewell to the stage, this caricature serves as a poignant reminder of his contributions to the world of music hall and pantomime, and the enduring appeal of the performing arts.
