EDITORS COMMENTS
This cover of The Tatler magazine, dated 1918, showcases a portrait of the renowned British comedian, Sir George Robey. Known as the "Prime Minister of Mirth," Robey was a beloved entertainer who brought laughter to the hearts of the public during challenging times. In this image, Robey is depicted holding an urn, poking fun at the numerous society ladies who adopted classical poses for illustrated magazines. Robey's success began in the late 19th century, and he quickly rose to fame with his unique blend of music hall comedy and vaudeville-style performances. His popularity reached new heights during World War I, with his hit show, "The Bing Boys are Here," which provided much-needed entertainment and relief to the British public. The comedian's appearance on the front cover of The Tatler, a prestigious society magazine, was a testament to his widespread appeal and influence. The humorous image of Robey holding an urn, a prop often used by classical statues, adds an extra layer of irony and amusement. The contrast between the seriousness of the classical pose and the comedian's playful expression highlights the power of humor to lighten the mood and bring joy to people's lives. This portrait of Sir George Robey is a fascinating glimpse into the past, offering a glimpse into the world of early 20th-century entertainment and the enduring appeal of comedy. The image serves as a reminder of the important role that entertainers, like Robey, play in bringing people together and lifting their spirits, especially during challenging times.
