EDITORS COMMENTS
Calling it a comeback! In this 1885 photograph, we find two prominent figures of the late Victorian era, Wilson Barrett and George Robert Sims, sharing a hearty welcome moment backstage. Wilson Barrett, an accomplished actor, manager, and playwright, extends a warm hand to his friend and fellow artist, George Robert Sims. Barrett's expressive face radiates pure joy and relief, as he greets Sims with the words, "Glad to have you back, Mr. Sims." The English journalist, poet, dramatist, and novelist, had just recovered from one of his frequent illnesses caused by over-indulgence. Sims, with a hint of mischief in his eyes, returns the smile, seemingly amused by his own weaknesses. The photograph, titled "Cartoon: Called Back," is an enthralling snapshot of the camaraderie and support that existed between performers during the 1880s. The men, dressed in formal attire, stand against a plain backdrop, their focus solely on each other, creating an intimate and engaging scene. Alfred Bryan, the talented cartoonist, captured this moment of friendship and solidarity, immortalizing it in this beautiful print. The image is a testament to the enduring bond between artists, their shared experiences, and the power of human connection, even during challenging times.
