This is Herbert Beerbohm Tree, the actor, and Max Beerbohm, the writer and caricaturist. They were half-brothers; Herbert the older by nineteen years. When Herbert became an actor in 1876, he added 'Tree' (translation of Bohm) to his name. According to Max, this was because he wanted a "shoutable monosyllable, for purposes of applause."
I really like Max's caricatures (this isn't one of his best, perhaps because he was fond of his brother.) He gave a very useful recipe for them, which also applies to a certain kind of comedy writing:
The most perfect caricature is that which, on a small surface, with the simplest means, most accurately exaggerates, to the highest point, the peculiarities of a human being, at his most characteristic moment, in the most beautiful manner.

Yes, I like the sound of that. 🙄
ReplyDeleteAnyway, I really like Max's Aubrey, not least because from the neck down it reminds me a little of one of your doodles. And it reminded me, from childhood, of a caricature of a relative, which I then managed to find online, as well as various images of him also sporting a pretty magnificent centre parting... Probably a late nineteenth century thing.
as a newbie to cryptocurrency trading, I lost a lot of money trying to navigate the market on my own, then in my search for a genuine and trusted trader/broker, i came across Trader Bernie Doran who guided and helped me retrieve my lost cryptocurrencies and I made so much profit up to the tune of $60,000. I made my first investment with $2,000 and got a ROI of $25,000 in less than 2 week. You can contact this expert trader Mr Bernie Doran via Gmail : BERNIEDORANSIGNALS@GMAIL.COM

ReplyDeleteI entirely agree with this, 👍
ReplyDeleteI know exactly what you mean. Many have been the times when I feel so down that I don’t even want to leave my bed. Then I relisten to some Cabin Pressure and—well, it doesn’t erase the emotional ache but it does provide some light in the darkness. For this and for sheer entertainment, I thank John and his performers.

<<I lost my job few months back and there was no way to get income for my family, things was so tough and I couldn’t get anything for my children, not until a met a recommendation on a page writing how Mr Bernie Wilfred helped a lady in getting a huge amount of profit every 6 working days on trading with his management on the cryptocurrency Market, to be honest I never believe it but I took the risk to take a loan of $2000. and I contacted him unbelievable and I was so happy I earn $22,500 in 6 working days, the most joy is that I can now take care of my family I don’t know how to appreciate your good work Mr. Bernie Doran God will continue to bless you for being a life saver I have no way to appreciate you than to tell people about your good services.

ReplyDeleteI find Max Beerbohm's approach to caricature and comedy writing insightful.
