EDITORS COMMENTS
This intriguing cartoon from the late Victorian era, dated December 13, 1884, captures the essence of the theatrical world's intricate relationships and potential for corruption. The image features Lord Lytton, the renowned British statesman and author, insinuatingly offering a dramatic critic, believed to be Alfred Bryan, a sumptuous supper in exchange for favorable criticism. The scene takes place in a dimly lit room adorned with theatrical paraphernalia, including a playbill and a pair of binoculars, emphasizing the connection between the stage and the illicit deal. Lord Lytton, with his distinctive beard and serious expression, is seen extending a platter laden with delicious food towards the critic, who sits at a table, pens in hand and a thoughtful expression on his face. The cartoonist, through this satirical image, highlights the prevalent issue of bribery in the theatre world, where the power to make or break a production often rested in the hands of the dramatic critics. The use of the term "entracte," which refers to a pause or intermission in a theatrical performance, adds to the overall theatricality of the image. This print offers a fascinating glimpse into the behind-the-scenes world of the London theatre scene during the 1880s.
