EDITORS COMMENTS
In this intriguing 1881 cartoon from Punch magazine, Queen Victoria finds herself besieged by theatre managers Irving, Toole, James, and Bancroft at Windsor Castle. The rumour that Her Majesty would once again grant theatrical entertainments at the castle has spread, and these eager and keen managers, represented as a rambunctious mob, clamour for her attention on the castle terrace. The scene is set against the backdrop of the Victorian era, with the upper crust of society eagerly consuming the arts and entertainment. Irving, Toole, James, and Bancroft, some of the most prominent theatre managers of the time, are depicted in the cartoon as a formidable force, determined to secure a royal audience. The queen, portrayed in her regal attire, looks somewhat alarmed and overwhelmed by the theatre managers' relentless pursuit. They are shown bringing a large upper crust pie, a popular theatrical prop of the time, as an offering to the monarch. The cartoon's title, "Entr'acte," suggests that this scene is taking place during a break in the royal entertainment, adding to the whimsical and lighthearted tone of the image. Despite the playful nature of the cartoon, it also highlights the power dynamics at play between the monarchy and the entertainment industry during the Victorian era. The theatre managers' eagerness to secure a royal audience underscores the importance of royal patronage in legitimizing and promoting the arts. This cartoon, with its historical significance and witty commentary on Victorian society, offers a fascinating glimpse into the world of 19th-century British royalty and theatre management.
