EDITORS COMMENTS
In this charming photograph, taken in 1901, Phil May, a renowned English cartoonist and illustrator, engages in a witty conversation with a famous actor on the pavement of London's Theatreland. With their overcoats draped over their arms, they seem to have just stepped out from the theatre, the hustle and bustle of the city's streets providing the perfect backdrop for their exchange. May, with a cigar in hand and a twinkle in his eye, asks the actor, "By the way, when does your American tour come off?" The actor, with a smile and a chuckle, replies, "Oh, not for about a year." Undeterred, May seizes the opportunity and suggests, "Well, let's go in here and have a drink before you go." Their conversation, filled with joking and jests, adds to the lively atmosphere of the scene. May's quick wit and the actor's good humor are evident in their body language and facial expressions. The photograph captures a moment of camaraderie and friendship between two men of the theatre world. This image is a testament to the rich history of Theatreland and the witty banter that often takes place behind the scenes. It is a reminder of the human side of the theatre world, where even the most famous actors are not immune to the charms of a good joke and a drink with a friend.
