EDITORS COMMENTS
This cartoon, titled "Mr John Richard Somers-Vine (1847-1929): The Inventions," is a delightful representation of the civil servant and journalist, John Richard Somers-Vine, from the late Victorian era. Drawn in the 1880s, this entrancing image was created during the June of 1885. Somers-Vine is depicted as a plump, smiling man, dressed in an elegant evening outfit, complete with a top hat and monocle. He is shown in the act of presenting an invention, with a pince-nez balanced on his nose and a proud expression on his face. The cartoon's title, "The Inventions," suggests that Somers-Vine was known for his innovative ideas or discoveries, adding to his esteemed reputation as a civil servant and journalist. The intriguing use of the word "entracte" in the title may indicate that this cartoon was created as a brief interlude or intermission during a theatrical performance, further emphasizing the importance and entertainment value of Somers-Vine's accomplishments. This charming and historical cartoon, featuring the late Victorian gentleman John Richard Somers-Vine, is a captivating glimpse into the past, offering a unique perspective on the life and achievements of an influential figure from the 19th century. The detailed rendering of Somers-Vine's attire and accessories, as well as the playful tone of the cartoon, make it a must-have for any collection of Victorian-era art or historical records.
