EDITORS COMMENTS
This caricature depicts the English writer, dramatist, and drama critic, Edward Litt Laman Blanchard, in the vibrant and humorous style of Victorian era illustrations. Dressed in formal attire, Blanchard is seen wearing a top hat and carrying a cane, adding to the air of sophistication and authority. However, his playful expression and the title "Ask Him If He Remembers" above his head suggest a lighter side to this man of the theatre. Blanchard was a prolific figure in the late 1800s, contributing to various publications as a critic and writer. His work often focused on the world of theatre and the stage, making him a familiar face in the literary and dramatic circles of the time. The pantomime masks in the background add a theatrical touch to the image, further emphasizing Blanchard's connection to the world of performance. This caricature by Terry Parker, from the Mary Evans Picture Library, captures the essence of Blanchard's personality and his role in the Victorian literary and theatrical scene. The use of bold lines and vivid colors adds to the playful and engaging nature of the image, making it a delightful addition to any collection of Victorian-era art or literature.
