DESCRIPTION

From “Stage-Land: Curious Habits and Customs of its Inhabitants” described by Jerome K Jerome with drawings by J Bernard Partridge. Published by Chatto & Windus, London, in 1890. The book is an entertaining account of the types of characters to be found upon the theatre stage and here is the ‘stage sailor’. Nautical language, hornpipes and a jovial manner all make him a rollicking good fellow to have around. Of course, on stage, there is a distinct lack of anything to sail, or dangerous currents to navigate, so he has an easy time of it.
