Cartoon, Colonel Sellers
Cartoon, Colonel Sellers. An adverse comment on a play based on a novel by Mark Twain and Charles Dudley Warner, The Gilded Age, satirising corruption and greed in post-Civil War America. In this imaginary courtroom scene, the man in the dock resembles the American actor John T Raymond (1836-1887), who performed in the title role. The judge in the background is John Hollingshead, at this time manager of the Gaiety Theatre. As judge, he doesn t seem to think very much of the play.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This cartoon, titled 'Colonel Sellers' by an unknown artist, offers a satirical commentary on the play "The Gilded Age," a scathing critique of corruption and greed in post-Civil War America penned by Mark Twain and Charles Dudley Warner. In this imagined courtroom scene, the man on trial, with his furrowed brow and stern expression, bears a striking resemblance to the American actor John T. Raymond (1836-1887), who graced the stage in the title role. The judge presiding over the proceedings is none other than John Hollingshead (1837-1913), the esteemed manager of the Gaiety Theatre at the time. The judge's disapproving gaze and folded arms suggest his disdain for the play and its unflattering portrayal of the American elite. The title "Entr'acte" inscribed at the bottom of the print indicates that this scene was meant to be a lighthearted interlude during a longer performance. The intricately detailed Victorian setting, complete with gavel, wigs, and ornate courtroom decor, further adds to the charm and historical authenticity of this image.
