EDITORS COMMENTS
Caricature of Ambrose Maynard, Theatrical Agent: A Spoof on Shakespeare's Elder Statesmen This delightful caricature, created by the skilled hand of Terry Parker in 1883, presents Ambrose Maynard, a prominent theatrical agent of the Victorian era, in a humorous and satirical light. Maynard is depicted as a parody of Shakespeare's elder statesmen, with an Elizabethan and Jacobean costume reminiscent of the Bard's most famous characters. The balding agent, with his doublet and hose, is shown surrounded by theatrically-inclined men, including Alfred Bryan, Chickweed, Groundsell, Winkles, and others. The setting is an entracte, or interlude, in a music hall, where the audience is momentarily entertained between acts. The caricature is a testament to the vibrant and satirical spirit of the 1880s, a time when the theatrical world was a major source of amusement and intrigue for the public. Maynard's bald head and expressive face are the focus of the caricature, as he appears to deliver a soliloquy, perhaps discussing the latest theatrical gossip or negotiating a contract with a wayward actor. The use of Shakespearean costume and language adds an extra layer of humor, as it highlights the theatricality of the theatrical agent's world. This image, from the Mary Evans Picture Library, is a rare and intriguing glimpse into the past, offering a glimpse into the world of Victorian theatrical agents and the entertaining world they inhabited. It is a reminder of the power of satire and caricature to capture the essence of a time and place, and to provide a lasting record of the human condition.
