EDITORS COMMENTS
This caricature depicts the English actor, comedian, playwright, and theatre manager, Arthur Cecil, in the role of Colley Cibber during a production of "Masks and Faces" in 1881. The image, created by the skilled hand of Terry Parker, captures the essence of the Victorian era with intricate details and a touch of humor. Arthur Cecil, born in 1843, was a prominent figure in the English theatre scene of the late 19th century. Known for his versatility and talent, Cecil excelled in various aspects of the theatre industry, from acting and comedy to playwriting and management. In this caricature, he is seen wearing an elaborate wig and a theatrical makeup patch over his eye, reminiscent of the 18th-century theatrical tradition. The production of "Masks and Faces," written by Charles Reade and Tom Taylor in 1852, was a popular play of the time. This enchanting image captures the intermission, or "entracte," of the performance, with Alfred and Bryan, two other actors, in the background, engaged in conversation. The presence of a biscuit in Cecil's hand adds a light-hearted touch to the scene, reflecting the playful nature of the theatre world. The intricate details of this caricature, from the textured fabric of the actors' costumes to the expressive facial features, transport us back to the 1880s and the world of Victorian theatre. This print is a testament to the enduring appeal of the theatre and the talent of those who brought it to life during this era.
