EDITORS COMMENTS
This cartoon print, titled "The Present Style: Squire Bancroft with Edward, Prince of Wales," is a delightful representation of Victorian-era British royalty and theatre culture, as depicted by the renowned satirical illustrator, Alfred Bryan. Dated 1884, this charming piece was published in the annual entracte of the same year. In the illustration, we see Squire Bancroft, a popular actor of the time, warmly greeting Edward, Prince of Wales, with a hearty handshake. The Prince, dressed in formal attire, appears to be in high spirits as he engages with the jovial Squire. By his side, a regal Alexandra, Princess of Wales, watches over her husband with a proud and affectionate expression. The cartoon's title, "The Present Style," is a nod to the theatrical genre of the time, which focused on presenting contemporary issues and events in a humorous and satirical light. The 1880s were a golden age for British theatre, with many popular plays and productions gracing the stages of London's grand theatres. This delightful print offers a glimpse into the social and cultural landscape of the Victorian era, showcasing the close relationship between the British monarchy and the world of theatre. It is a charming reminder of a bygone era, filled with elegance, wit, and a sense of camaraderie between the famous and the royal.
