EDITORS COMMENTS
This caricature depicts the renowned American actor Edwin Booth, founder of Booth's Theatre in New York City, in a lighthearted moment at his home during the 1880s. Booth, a man of great talent and charisma, is shown in a smart suit, holding a cigar and puffing on it with a contented expression. The caricature, created by the skilled hand of Terry Parker, adds a playful touch to Booth's image, with his exaggerated features and the cardinal-like attire, adding an air of mischief and amusement. Edwin Booth was a leading figure in the American theatre scene, known for his exceptional acting abilities and his dedication to the art of live performance. He founded Booth's Theatre in New York in 1865, which became a hub for the city's theatrical community and a popular destination for audiences seeking an evening of entertainment. Despite his successful career and prominent position in society, Booth is depicted here in a more casual setting, enjoying a moment of relaxation at home. The cigar, a common prop for actors and performers of the time, adds to the authenticity of the scene and underscores Booth's connection to the world of the stage. This caricature offers a glimpse into the personal side of a man who was revered for his talent and dedication to the art of live performance. It serves as a reminder of the human side of the theatre world and the enduring appeal of the stage, even in the most intimate and private moments.
