William Schwenck Gilbert
b. 11-18-1836; England
d. 5-29-1911
Gilbert was a playwright and collaborator with Sullivan as the librettist of the Gilbert and Sullivan operettas.
This caricature of William S. Gilbert by Sir Leslie Ward, also known as "Spy", was probably for the British magazine Vanity Fair. Published between 1868 and 1914, Vanity Fair, "A Weekly Show of Political, Social, and Literary Wares" was Victorian and Edwardian England's equivalent of an entertainment show. Ward also did a portrait of Mark Twain, Sir Winston Churchill, and Richard Wagner.
