EDITORS COMMENTS
: A Delightful Dive into the World of Alfred Lester and Edwards Hynes In the vibrant and whimsical realm of early 20th-century entertainment, few figures stand out quite like Alfred Lester and Edwards Hynes. This duo left an indelible mark on the theatrical landscape, with Lester's comedic prowess and Hynes' artistic brilliance coming together in a series of enchanting caricatures. Alfred Lester, an actor and comedian born in 1874, was a charismatic and versatile performer who graced the stages of London's most prestigious theatres. Among his many accomplishments, Lester's most notable success came in the form of his nightly appearances at the Duke of York's Theatre in the "Punch Bowl" Stakes. These theatrical competitions were anything but "flat," as evidenced by the exuberant energy and infectious humor that Lester brought to each performance. Edwards Hynes, an artist and caricaturist, was the mastermind behind these captivating depictions of Lester. Born in 1897, Hynes honed his craft through his contributions to various publications, including The Bystander and Illustrated Sporting and Dramatic News. In this stunning series of caricatures, Hynes captures Lester in a variety of theatrical and comic poses, offering a glimpse into the actor's captivating stage presence. The resulting images, dated 1925, are a testament to the creative synergy between Lester and Hynes. They transport us back to a bygone era, inviting us to revel in the joy and exuberance of the 1920s and the artistry of two remarkable individuals. These caricatures are not just visual treats, but also a poignant reminder of the enduring power of creativity and the magic of live performance.
