EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a heartfelt moment of reconciliation between two prominent figures of the Victorian theatre scene: Clement Scott (1841-1904) and Edward Ledger (birth year unknown). The image, taken in December 1883, depicts Clement reaching out to Edward with a sincere expression, as Edward responds with a warm embrace. Clement, an influential English theatre critic who worked for the Daily Telegraph and other papers, was also a playwright, lyricist, translator, and travel writer. Edward, an editor of The Era theatrical newspaper, was known for his contributions to the London stage as well. Despite their shared passion for the theatre, the two men had become estranged, their friendship strained by professional rivalries and personal differences. However, in this moment, they choose to let go of their grievances and reunite as friends, if not as brothers. The powerful image of their reconciliation serves as a reminder of the human capacity for forgiveness and the enduring bond of friendship. The photograph, titled "Cartoon," was published in Bryan's Entracte, a popular Victorian entertainment magazine, in December 1883. The 1880s setting, with its formal attire and elegant surroundings, further emphasizes the significance of this moment in the lives of these two influential figures of the London theatre world.
