EDITORS COMMENTS
This caricature, titled "Polly Solomon" by an unknown artist, offers a humorous take on English conductor, composer, orchestrator, and pianist Edward Solomon (1855-1923). Dressed in formal attire, complete with a top hat and tails, Solomon is depicted holding a musical score, while a playful parrot named Polly perches on his shoulder. The parrot, with its exaggerated features and mischievous expression, adds an element of whimsy to the image. The title "Entracte," written above, suggests that this caricature may have been created during one of Solomon's performances, possibly during an intermission or break in the music. The 1880s Victorian era setting is further emphasized by the intricate details in the artist's rendering, from the textured fabric of Solomon's jacket to the delicate feathers of the parrot. The use of bold lines and exaggerated features is characteristic of the caricature style popular during this period. Edward Solomon was a prolific figure in the music world, known for his work as a conductor, composer, orchestrator, and pianist. He made his conducting debut in 1884, and this caricature may have been created around that time to celebrate his achievements. The image captures the spirit of the era, combining the seriousness of music and the playfulness of caricature in a delightful and memorable way.
