EDITORS COMMENTS
In this cartoon print from the 1880s, we find a portrait of Alfred Bryan, the esteemed manager of the South London Theatre. The image, filled with the charm of the late Victorian era, showcases Bryan in profile, donning a top hat adorned with a ribbon and a cigar clenched between his teeth. The theatre manager is depicted in the midst of an annual entracte, a brief intermission between acts, taking a moment to collect his thoughts and prepare for the next performance. The South London Theatre, a popular venue during the 1880s, was known for its diverse and engaging productions. Bryan, with his extensive experience and keen management skills, played a pivotal role in ensuring the success of each show. His dedication to the theatre and its patrons was unwavering, and this cartoon print captures the essence of his character – a man of authority, charisma, and a deep passion for the art of theatre. The intricate details in the print, from the folds of Bryan's jacket to the texture of his cigar, bring the image to life, transporting us back to the late Victorian era. The annual entracte, a tradition that allowed the audience to catch their breath before the second half of the performance, is a poignant reminder of the unique experience that theatre-goers enjoyed during this time. This delightful cartoon portrait of Alfred Bryan, the manager of the South London Theatre, offers a glimpse into the past, showcasing the charm and elegance of the late Victorian era and the important role that theatre managers played in bringing joy and entertainment to their communities.
