Music Patrons: A Delightful Caricature of Society's Elite at the Opera by Tony Wysard (1938) This photograph print, titled "Music Patrons," is a charming caricature by the British artist Tony Wysard, showcasing four prominent figures of the time enjoying an evening at the opera. The image, dated 1938, features the enchanting Emerald Cunard, Lady Cunard, Sidney Beer, and Lord Berners, all elegantly dressed and seated in a private box. Lady Cunard, known for her beauty and social connections, is depicted with a radiant smile, her eyes closed in delight as she listens intently to the music. Emerald Cunard was a prominent figure in London society, known for her love of art, music, and fashion. Sidney Beer, a renowned music critic and journalist, is portrayed with a quizzical expression, perhaps deep in thought as he contemplates the performance. Beer was a respected figure in the music world, known for his insightful reviews and commentary. Lord Berners, a composer, author, and painter, is shown with a mischievous grin, as if amused by the scene unfolding before him. Berners was a versatile and eccentric figure, known for his wit and artistic talents. The image captures the essence of the opera experience, with the ornate gold detailing of the box and the grandeur of the opera house in the background. The caricature not only highlights the elegance and sophistication of the patrons but also their deep appreciation for music and the arts. Tony Wysard's "Music Patrons" is a delightful snapshot of a bygone era, offering a glimpse into the world of high society and the enduring appeal of the opera.
