EDITORS COMMENTS
This portrait captures the essence of James D. Stoyle (1831-1880), an English character actor and comedian, in the prime of his career. At the time this photograph was taken, Stoyle had recently appeared in the role of Ben Barnacle in a production of Billee Taylor by Stephens and Solomon at the Imperial Theatre in London. The image finds him in character, with a mischievous grin and a top hat perched atop his head, a nod to Barnacle's penchant for mischief and shenanigans. The production, which took place in 1881, was met with mixed reviews, but Stoyle's performance of the song "All on Account of Eliza" during the transe scene left audiences divided. While some were enchanted by his comedic timing and vocal prowess, others took to whistling throughout the performance. The controversy surrounding the song only added to Stoyle's reputation as a daring and unconventional performer. The Victorian era was a time of innovation and change in the world of theatre, and Stoyle was a man ahead of his time. With his unique blend of character acting and comedy, he left an indelible mark on the stage. This portrait, taken in the 1880s, serves as a testament to Stoyle's talent and the impact he had on audiences during his time on stage in London.
