EDITORS COMMENTS
In the heart of the Victorian era, a whimsical and satirical take on the English legal system unfolds in this caricature of Sir Squire Bancroft, the renowned actor-manager of his time. The image, created in 1881 by an unidentified artist and published by Terry Parker through Mary Evans Picture Library, presents a humorous and intriguing scene. Sir Squire Bancroft, dressed in a smart coat and monocle, is depicted being summoned as a juryman to a coroner's inquest. The idea of a society actor being called to serve on a jury would have been an amusing and unexpected turn of events in the 1880s. Bancroft, with his theatrical background, seems to exude an air of superiority and self-importance, as he holds the document of summons with a nonchalant attitude. Two dogs, one with a haw in its mouth, accompany him, adding to the playful and lighthearted tone of the caricature. The dogs, perhaps symbolizing loyalty or protection, further emphasize the notion of a summons being an unwelcome interruption to Sir Squire Bancroft's daily routine. The image, titled "Summoning a Society Actor as a Juryman at a Coroner's Inquest," encapsulates the spirit of the Victorian era with its intricate details, from the formal attire to the quirky inclusion of the dogs. This caricature not only provides a glimpse into the past but also offers a delightful commentary on the unexpected twists and turns of life, even for the most distinguished members of society.
