Alfred Bryan (18521899) was a popular English illustrator, best-known for his many contributions to the London-based weekly theatrical review Entr'acte. Bryan worked for the Illustrated Sporting and Dramatic News for most of his career and was also published in periodicals such as Judy magazine. Walter Sickert, a contemporary art critic, described him as "the complete, trained draughtsman", praising his illustrations as "[...]unfaltering in their mastery of line, their perfect style, their elegance and wit."[1]
