EDITORS COMMENTS
This delightful caricature print from 1881 captures the playful camaraderie between two prominent figures of the Victorian theatre scene, Alexander Henderson and Henry Brougham Farnie. Henderson, depicted on the left, is shown as a dapper theatre owner and director, complete with a top hat and bowler hat, a wooden horse's head under his arm, and a clownish red nose and oversized shoes. His ruff collar and moustache add to the comedic effect. On the right, Farnie, the author, librettist, and adapter, is shown on horseback, out of the hunt with a spotted horse. He wears a bowler hat and a serious expression, holding a quill pen and a stack of papers. The title "Out of the Hunt" above his head references a new play adaptation by Farnie, which may have been the source of this caricature. The image is a testament to the creative and collaborative spirit of the Victorian theatre world, where theatre owners, directors, and writers worked together to bring new productions to life. The wooden horse and the horseback setting add a playful touch to the caricature, making it a charming representation of the era's theatrical culture.
