EDITORS COMMENTS
This delightful caricature captures the essence of entrepreneurial spirit and show business flair embodied by Messrs. Willing and Myers in the late 1800s. The image, created in 1880, features James Washington Myers (1823-1892) and Alfred Bryan, both dressed in smart Victorian attire, with top hats perched atop their heads. Myers, with a cigar clenched between his teeth and a thoughtful expression, seems deep in thought, perhaps planning the next big act for his circus tours. Bryan, with a mischievous grin and a hand extended in a theatrical gesture, appears ready to entertain the crowd. The caricature takes place in an enchanting setting, with a grand dome in the background, suggesting the opulence and grandeur of a circus tent. The men, with their dapper appearance and air of confidence, exude the professionalism and charisma required to produce and impresario such a spectacle. As pioneering entrepreneurs and producers, Willing and Myers were known for their innovative circus tours, which brought excitement and wonder to audiences across the country. Their business ventures were not just about making a profit, but about creating unforgettable experiences for their patrons. This caricature serves as a testament to their dedication and passion for the art of show business, and their ability to captivate and entertain generations of audiences. Terry Parker's masterful caricature, with its intricate details and lively energy, invites us to step back in time and experience the magic of the circus as it was in the late 1800s. A must-have for any collection of historical images, this print is a reminder of the enduring allure of the circus and the visionaries who brought it to life.
