| Summary | "The Fun Library, vol. 8: Stage, Study & Studio" by J. A. Hammerton et al. is a collection of humorous illustrations and anecdotes focused on the performing arts, particularly the interplay of life in the theatre, art studios, and literary circles. Written during the late 19th century, this volume captures the essence of Bohemian life in London, presenting a comedic yet affectionate look at artists, actors, and their idiosyncrasies, often drawing on the traditions of past humorists. The opening of this volume introduces the art and humor surrounding the theatrical world, emphasizing practical jokes and comedic scenarios inherent in playhouse life. Through a series of anecdotes about famous actors and their antics, readers get a glimpse into the light-hearted spirit of the theatrical community. The text juxtaposes traditional dramatic elements with whimsical occurrences, assuring that the audience is entertained by both the scripted performances and the unscripted hilarity that accompanies them. This blend of wit and art makes it a delightful read for those interested in the lighter side of performance art and the charming quirks of its practitioners.
