EDITORS COMMENTS
This caricature, created by the skilled hand of Terry Parker in 1882, presents a humorous take on two prominent figures of the Victorian era: Walter Clifford Webling (seated, also known as Walter Weblyn, 1846-1928) and Alfred Edward Thomas Watson (on horseback, 1849-1922). Webling, the owner of the Illustrated Sporting and Dramatic News, is depicted in a plush, ornate seat, adorned with a monocle and a moustache, engrossed in the pages of a newspaper. His wooden cane leans against the chair, adding to the sense of relaxation and leisure. In stark contrast, Watson, the editor and author, music and drama critic with a keen interest in horseracing, is shown riding a spotted horse, his top hat askew and a pair of opera glasses in hand. His horse, seemingly just as interested in the goings-on of the theatre as its rider, gazes intently at the theatre seats in the background. The caricature masterfully captures the essence of the 1880s, with its intricate details and playful humor. The men's attire, complete with moustaches and monocles, adds to the authenticity of the scene, transporting us back in time to an era of sport, journalism, and the arts.
