EDITORS COMMENTS
Caricature of the Theatre Manager William Holland: The Invasion of Holland (1881) - A humorous depiction of the changing of the guard in Victorian theatre management. In this intriguing image from the 1880s, we see the outgoing manager, William Holland, shown in a top hat and overcoat, carrying a bag and bidding his good wishes to the audience as he exits through a turnstile. The incoming manager, Alfred Bryan, wearing a bowler hat and carrying a cigar, confidently strides in, ready to take his place. The caricature, titled "The Invasion of Holland," captures the essence of the theatre world during this era. Holland's departure and Bryan's arrival represent the constant flux of management in the London theatre scene. The image also highlights the distinct fashion trends of the time, with both men dressed in the height of Victorian style. This print, created by Terry Parker and available through Mary Evans Picture Library, offers a unique glimpse into the behind-the-scenes world of theatre management during the late 19th century. The caricature not only showcases the changing of the guard but also adds a touch of humor to the often serious business of running a theatre.
