EDITORS COMMENTS
This caricature depicts the beloved English actor and singer, Fred Leslie (Frederick George Hobson, 1855-1892), in the iconic role of Rip Van Winkle from the popular operetta of the same name. The production, which premiered at the Comedy Theatre in London during 1882, was an adaptation by Dion Boucicault of the acclaimed score by Robert Planquette. Fred Leslie's portrayal of Rip Van Winkle brought the classic Washington Irving tale to life on the Victorian stage, showcasing his exceptional comedic timing and vocal abilities. In this image, Leslie is seen holding a rifle, a nod to the story's famous scene where Rip Van Winkle sleeps for twenty years and awakens to find the world changed. The glass of ale in his other hand adds to the whimsical charm of the character. The operetta, which enjoyed great success during the 1880s, showcased Leslie's versatility as a performer. Known for his comedic and dramatic roles, Leslie's talent was celebrated by audiences and critics alike. This caricature, drawn by Terry Parker for Mary Evans Picture Library, offers a delightful glimpse into the world of Victorian theatre and the enduring appeal of Fred Leslie's performances.
