EDITORS COMMENTS
This caricature depicts the English comic actor, David James (1839-1893), in the iconic role of Mr. Punch from the classic puppet show "Punch and Judy." Dating back to 1881, this image captures the essence of the Victorian era's popular entertainment. James, known for his plump and jovial build, is shown here with an exaggerated hunchback, a big red nose, and a prominent chin, all hallmarks of the Mr. Punch character. The caricature also features James wearing the traditional Mr. Punch costume, complete with a multicolored hat adorned with bells. Mr. Punch, a jester-like character, is a staple of English folk tradition and has been entertaining audiences since the 17th century. James' portrayal of the character was particularly popular during the 1880s, and this caricature offers a glimpse into the merriment and joy that his performances brought to the public. The entracte, or interlude, between acts at the theater was an essential time for performers to connect with their audience, and James' Mr. Punch was a crowd favorite during these moments. This caricature, created by an unknown artist, is a testament to the enduring appeal of Mr. Punch and the talent of David James in bringing the character to life. It serves as a reminder of the rich history of English comedy and the joy that live performances brought to audiences during the Victorian era.
