EDITORS COMMENTS
This cartoon portrait depicts Mr. H.A. Freeman, the Acting Manager of the Grand Theatre in London during the late Victorian era. The image, dated 1885, captures Mr. Freeman in profile, donning a top hat that adds an air of sophistication and importance to his appearance. The Grand Theatre in London had several locations throughout the city, including in Clapham, Croydon, Islington, Fulham, and Woolwich. However, it is unclear which specific Grand Theatre Mr. Freeman managed during this time. The cartoon, titled "entracte, entr'acte, acte," is a playful nod to the theatrical world, with the words "entracte" and "entr'acte" referencing the breaks between acts in a performance, and "acte" meaning an act or scene. The cartoon's creator, Alfred Bryan, expertly captures the essence of the theatrical world through his use of bold lines and expressive details. Mr. Freeman's cartoon portrait offers a glimpse into the lives of those who worked behind the scenes during the 1880s. His smart attire and confident demeanor suggest a man in charge, someone who was not only dedicated to his role as Acting Manager but also passionate about the world of theatre. The portrait is a testament to the importance of theatre in Victorian society and the people who brought it to life for audiences. This charming cartoon portrait is a must-have for anyone interested in the history of theatre or the Victorian era. It offers a unique perspective into the world of theatre management during a time when live performances were a source of entertainment and community engagement.
