EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the camaraderie and wit of four prominent figures of the late Victorian entertainment scene: Cartoon, Only One, Henry Pettitt, and George Sims. Taken in 1885, the image finds Pettitt and Sims in high spirits, with Pettitt playfully teasing Sims, "Am I to stand in next time, George? I shouldn't like to promise!" Henry Pettitt, an actor and dramatist, is shown on the left, donning a top hat and a confident expression. Next to him, George Sims, a journalist, poet, dramatist, and novelist, grins and gestures as if in response to Pettitt's jest. The two men were known for their collaborations in the world of London theatre, with Pettitt often appearing in productions of Sims' plays. The photograph, titled "entracte, entr'acte, cartoon, cartoons," likely refers to the interludes or brief performances that took place between acts during theatre productions. The men's casual attire and relaxed demeanor suggest that this moment was captured during a break in their rehearsals or performances. The image offers a glimpse into the creative and collaborative spirit of the late Victorian theatre scene, where artists and performers like Pettitt and Sims came together to entertain and captivate audiences. This photograph is a testament to their camaraderie and the enduring appeal of their work, which continues to resonate with modern audiences today.
