EDITORS COMMENTS
This caricature depicts the renowned English comic actor, David James (left), and the acclaimed dramatist, James Albery (right), during the 1880s at the height of their careers. The image references a production of Albery's play, "Two Roses," which premiered at the prestigious Lyceum Theatre in London during 1881. David James, with his distinctive handlebar mustache and exaggerated expression, is shown in a dressing gown, holding a rose and a check, symbolizing his role in the play and the payment he received for his performance. James Albery, wearing a check suit and pince-nez, is seen smoking a pipe, perhaps reflecting on the success of his production. The title "Two Roses at the Lyceum, a Little Cheque" further emphasizes the theatrical connection between the two men, with "Two Roses" being the name of Albery's play and "a little cheque" representing the financial compensation James received for his acting services. The entracte, or intermission, setting of the caricature adds to the lighthearted and playful atmosphere, capturing the spirit of the Victorian era and the camaraderie between these two influential figures in English theatre.
