EDITORS COMMENTS
Sir Wilfrid Lawson, the renowned Liberal politician, temperance campaigner, and radical anti-imperialist, is depicted in this delightful caricature from the 1880s. The image captures Sir Wilfrid in a light-hearted moment as he takes a break from his political pursuits and pays a visit to the recently transformed Royal Victoria Coffee Music Hall, now a temperance establishment. With a smirk on his face, Sir Wilfrid, dressed in a top hat and suit, holds a teapot in one hand and a saucer in the other, ready to take a sip. A cake and a sandwich sit on the table before him, suggesting a leisurely afternoon tea. In the background, two figures, possibly Alfred Bryan and Joseph Chamberlain, can be seen on stage, likely performing or preparing for a show. Sir Wilfrid's bushy beard and expressive face add to the humor and comic appeal of the caricature. The Old Vic, as the Royal Victoria Coffee Music Hall was affectionately known, was a popular venue for music hall entertainment during the Victorian era. Sir Wilfrid's visit to the temperance hall underscores his commitment to the cause and his ability to find joy and relaxation in the simple pleasures of life, even amidst his busy political schedule.
