EDITORS COMMENTS
This caricature depicts the renowned English actor Henry Irving in the guise of 'The Lyceum Lion,' a humanized representation of the fierce and powerful mascot of London's Lyceum Theatre. Irving, known for his noble and strong stage presence, is seen here with a playful pince-nez, adding a touch of humor to his regal appearance. The year is 1881, and Irving is in the midst of producing Tennyson's play, 'The Cup,' at the Lyceum Theatre. The quotation from the play, "A score of dogs gnawed at his ankles; at last he felt the trouble of his feet -- put forth one paw, slew four and knew it not," encapsulates the intensity and determination of Irving's performances. The image captures the spirit of the 1880s theatre scene, where human and animal elements were often intertwined to create memorable and iconic stage personas. This caricature is a testament to Irving's legendary status as a theatrical lion, who, like the character in Tennyson's play, fearlessly faced the challenges of the stage and emerged victorious.
