EDITORS COMMENTS
This caricature from 1882, titled "The Two Booths," offers a humorous and intriguing comparison of two famous Booths who graced the London stage during the 1880s - the renowned actor Edwin Booth and the charismatic founder of the Salvation Army, William Booth. Edwin Booth, depicted on the left, is seen in the elaborate costume and regal demeanor of Cardinal Richelieu, a role he had recently played at the Adelphi Theatre. The audience was enthralled by his masterful portrayal of the iconic character, which showcased his exceptional acting skills and versatility. On the right, William Booth, the founder of the Salvation Army, is shown in a more humble setting at the Grecian Theatre in north London. He had just acquired the venue to use as a base for his evangelical concerts and meetings. In stark contrast to his brother, William is seen with a concertina in hand, singing a heartfelt song to a rapt audience. The caricature, created by the talented hand of Terry Parker, brilliantly captures the essence of the two brothers and their contrasting worlds. While Edwin Booth ruled the traditional theatrical stage, William Booth was revolutionizing the spiritual landscape of London through music, song, and the message of salvation. This image serves as a fascinating reminder of the unique and diverse talents that the Booth family brought to the world during the late 19th century.
