EDITORS COMMENTS
This cartoon depicts Horace Wigan (c.1815-1885), a versatile and renowned figure in the Victorian theatre scene. Born in the early 19th century, Wigan made a name for himself as an actor, dramatist, and theatre manager, leaving an indelible mark on the world of entertainment. The image, captured in 1884 by an unknown artist, portrays Wigan in a middle-aged phase of his life. His straggly, untidy hair, shabby hat, and worn coat add to his distinctive, unpolished appearance. Despite the disheveled look, Wigan's eyes convey a certain depth and intelligence, hinting at the depth of his acting abilities. Best known for his detective roles, Wigan's talent extended far beyond the stage. His versatility as an actor allowed him to excel in various genres, from tragedy to comedy. As a dramatist, he penned numerous plays that were well-received by audiences, and as a theatre manager, he oversaw productions that showcased the best of Victorian theatre. However, the cartoon does not reveal the amiable and cheerful nature that Wigan was known for off-stage. The glum expression on his face in this image is a stark contrast to the warm and engaging personality that endeared him to his colleagues and fans. This cartoon offers a glimpse into the life of a man who dedicated his career to the world of theatre, leaving a lasting impact on the Victorian stage.
