EDITORS COMMENTS
This caricature, titled 'The Gaiety Showman -- Once More,' dates back to 1881 and depicts the renowned theatre manager, John Hollingshead, in an extraordinary moment of revival. At this time, Hollingshead held the esteemed position of manager at the Gaiety Theatre in London. In this whimsical illustration, he is seen as a puppeteer, breathing new life into two prominent figures of the Victorian stage: the actor Edward Terry and the actress Sarah Bernhardt. The thin and extreme thin caricature of Hollingshead contrasts starkly with the larger-than-life figures of Terry and Bernhardt, who were known for their robust performances. Terry, a popular actor of the 1880s, is portrayed as a lifeless puppet, limp and devoid of energy. Bernhardt, the legendary French actress, is shown as a graceful marionette, her expressive eyes and delicate features capturing the essence of her magnetic stage presence. Hollingshead, with a determined expression, skillfully manipulates the strings of his puppets, imbuing them with renewed vigor. This caricature not only highlights Hollingshead's role as a manager and showman but also underscores his ability to breathe new life into theatrical performances. The image is a testament to the power of the theatre and the art of storytelling, as well as the unique bond between the performer and the audience. This caricature, created by Terry Parker, offers a glimpse into the world of Victorian entertainment and the extraordinary figures who brought it to life. It is a reminder of the enduring allure of the theatre and the magic that can be found within its walls.
