EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the essence of British Vaudeville entertainer, Mr. William Randall, in his element as a comic singer during the late Victorian era. Born in 1857 as Thomas William Randall, he began his professional career at the tender age of 26, gracing the stage at Deacons music hall in 1883. By 1886, Randall had honed his comedic skills and was making a name for himself in the world of music hall entertainment. The image, taken in January of that year, showcases Randall in his top hat and other fashionable hats of the time, exuding confidence and charisma. The word "Cartoon" inscribed above his head suggests that he was known for his humorous and satirical performances, a common theme in music hall acts of the 1880s. Mr. Randall's comedic singing act was a staple of the Vaudeville circuit, and his popularity continued to grow throughout his career. He was a man of the people, connecting with audiences through his relatable humor and ability to poke fun at the societal norms of the time. This photograph is a testament to the rich history of music hall entertainment in Britain during the late Victorian era. It offers a glimpse into the past, allowing us to appreciate the talent and artistry of performers like Mr. William Randall, who brought joy and laughter to audiences through their music and comedy acts.
