Hailing from the late 19th century, this caricature is a testament to the rich history of theatre and entertainment during the Victorian era. Arthur Matthison (1856-1931) was a celebrated British actor, known for his exceptional talent and versatility on the stage. In this caricature, he is depicted in the guise of "Admirable Crichton," a character from J.M. Barrie's popular play "The Admirable Crichton," which first premiered in 1902. However, it is essential to note that this caricature predates the play's premiere, indicating Matthison's early association with the role. The caricature captures Matthison's captivating stage presence and the essence of the "Admirable Crichton" character. The artist skillfully exaggerates Matthison's facial features, creating a humorous yet endearing representation of the actor. Crichton, a loyal butler, is known for his unwavering devotion and loyalty to his employer, Lord Loam. In the play, Crichton saves his employer's family during a shipwreck and becomes their savior on a deserted island. This caricature offers a glimpse into the world of Victorian theatre and the admiration for the actors who brought stories to life on the stage. The intricate details and the artist's mastery of the medium make this a truly remarkable piece of historical art. Whether you are an admirer of Victorian theatre, Arthur Matthison, or the art of caricature, this print is a must-have for any collection.
