EDITORS COMMENTS
This cartoon depicts John Corlett, the visionary founder, proprietor, and editor of The Sporting Times, published in London in the late 1880s during the Victorian era. The date, February 21, 1885, is etched into the image, marking a significant moment in sports journalism history. With a distinctive pince-nez perched on his nose, Corlett is portrayed as more than just a prophet, but a pioneer in the realm of sports journalism. The Sporting Times, known for its wit and satire, was a leading publication during the 1880s, providing coverage of various sports and pastimes. Corlett's influence extended beyond the pages of the paper, as he was an integral figure in the world of sports, often attending and reporting on events firsthand. In this cartoon, Corlett is shown with a prophetic gaze, as if looking into the future, with a stack of newspapers at his feet. The caption, "Entr'acte, Entr'acte, Entr'acte," alludes to the intermission or break between acts in a theatrical performance, suggesting that Corlett was not only a journalist but also a master of storytelling and entertainment. This cartoon is a testament to Corlett's impact on the world of sports journalism during the late Victorian era. His innovative approach to reporting on sports and his commitment to providing engaging content made The Sporting Times a must-read for sports enthusiasts and those interested in the latest news and trends of the time.
