EDITORS COMMENTS
This caricature depicts Violet Cameron, an English actress and singer, in the prime of her career during the 1880s. Known for her enchanting voice and expressive stage presence, Violet Lydia Thompson, as she was born, was a popular figure in Victorian theatre. The print captures Violet's distinctive features, including her slim figure, dark hair with loose curls framing her face, and the high collar of her elegant dress. She is shown holding a bouquet of flowers, adding a touch of grace and femininity to the image. The caricature also highlights her unique profile, with a playful exaggeration of her nose and chin, adding to the whimsical charm of the artwork. Violet's expressive eyes and the slight smile on her lips suggest a sense of mischief and charisma, making her an intriguing and captivating figure. The artist, Terry Parker, masterfully captures the essence of Violet's stage persona, making this caricature a delightful representation of a beloved Victorian actress and singer. The image is reminiscent of the entracte, a theatrical interlude where performers would entertain the audience during a scene change. Violet's caricature would have been a delightful addition to the programmes sold during these interludes, providing a lighthearted and entertaining moment for theatre-goers of the time. This print offers a glimpse into the world of Victorian theatre and the enduring talent of Violet Cameron.
