EDITORS COMMENTS
This caricature depicts the English actor Tom Mead (1821-1889), renowned for his menacing portrayals on the Victorian stage due to his distinctive deep voice. In the 1880s, Mead reached new heights of infamy by assuming the role of the Apothecary in Henry Irving's acclaimed production of Romeo and Juliet at The Lyceum Theatre in London during 1882. The image captures Mead in profile, his curly hair cascading over his forehead, and his top hat perched atop his head. He clutches a cane in one hand, adding to the ominous aura surrounding him. The caricature, created by Terry Parker, masterfully exaggerates Mead's features, emphasizing his bushy eyebrows, pointed nose, and expressive mouth. Mead's villainous roles were a staple of the legitimate theatre scene during the 1880s. His distinctive voice and imposing presence made him a favorite among audiences, who eagerly anticipated his appearances as the sinister antagonist. The Apothecary in Romeo and Juliet was no exception, as his ominous interactions with the titular characters added an extra layer of tension and intrigue to Irving's production. This caricature serves as a testament to Mead's enduring impact on the Victorian theatre, immortalizing his image and cementing his legacy as a formidable actor and villain. The intricate details and vivid colors bring the caricature to life, offering a glimpse into the world of 19th-century theatre and the captivating performances of its most memorable actors.
