EDITORS COMMENTS
This color plate, hailing from Pierce Egan's Anecdotes of the Turf, The Chase, The Ring, and The Stage, published in 1827, showcases an intriguing interview scene between Mr. Mathews and an Irish theatrical barber. Pierce Egan (1772-1849), a renowned journalist and sports writer of his time, was known for his vivid storytelling and keen observations of the social scene, particularly in the worlds of horse racing, hunting, boxing, and the theater. In this charming vignette, Mr. Mathews, a well-dressed gentleman, sits in a drawing room, engaged in an animated conversation with an Irish barber, who, with his theatrical flair, adds an element of drama and wit to the scene. The barber, with his colorful language and anecdotes, regales Mr. Mathews with tales from the world of the stage, no doubt keeping his audience entertained and engaged. The warm, inviting atmosphere of the drawing room is further emphasized by the rich, warm colors of the print, which brings the scene to life and transports us back to the early 19th century. This fascinating image offers a glimpse into the lively and engaging world of Pierce Egan's Anecdotes, which was popular among the literati and the fashionable set of the time. The publication of these anecdotes helped to establish Egan's reputation as a master storyteller and a keen observer of the social scene, cementing his place in the annals of English literature and journalism.
