Image description

Alfred Vance or 'The Great Vance', as he was known, was part of a group known as the 'Lions Comiques', who were the first great stars of the Music Hall. Their stage personas focused on 'the man about town', and would have been immediately recognisable by the audiences. It has been suggested that the success of this song actually popularised the word 'zoo' in the English language. Walking in the Zoo. [Song, begins: "The Stilton, sir".] Written by H. W. Sweny. Author: Lee, Alfred / London, [1871] Source/Shelfmark: H.1561.(8) Lithograph, coloured
