EDITORS COMMENTS
This cartoon from the 1880s, titled "The Theatrical Outlook," offers a humorous take on the competitive nature of theatre management during the late Victorian era. The image features three men in top hats, each with distinctive facial features and accessories, gathered around a table covered in inventories. At the head of the table, Squire Bancroft, with his bushy mustache and monocle, and John Hollingshead, with his neatly trimmed beard and bowler hat, engage in a serious discussion. Alfred Bryan, with a surprised expression and disheveled hair, seems to be the outsider in the group. The caption above the cartoon reads, "I am going to get out of it before I am hurt. What do you intend to do? I should like to get a share of the Inventories." This suggests that the men are involved in some sort of business deal or negotiation, possibly related to the management and inventory of a theatre. The cartoon offers a glimpse into the theatrical world of the 1880s, where competition and business acumen were just as important as artistic talent. The men's formal attire and serious expressions convey a sense of importance and urgency, while the cartoon's playful tone adds a lighthearted touch to the scene. Overall, this image provides a fascinating insight into the behind-the-scenes world of theatre management during the late Victorian era.
