EDITORS COMMENTS
This caricature depicts Edward, Prince of Wales, and the renowned Irish actor and playwright, Dion Boucicault, at the Prince of Wales Theatre in London during the 1880s. The play being produced at the time was "In Honour Bound," a drama that would test the limits of honor and family loyalty. The Prince of Wales, the eldest son of Queen Victoria, was known for his love of the theatre and his patronage of the arts. Boucicault, a prolific writer and actor, had made a name for himself in both Ireland and England with his plays and productions. The caption accompanying this image plays on the theme of honor, which was a central element of "In Honour Bound." The phrase "Honor is said to be very weak. The family doctor has been called in," suggests that the production may have explored the complexities and vulnerabilities of honor, and perhaps even its potential for causing harm. The caricature itself captures the essence of the two men, with the Prince of Wales depicted as a dapper and confident figure, and Boucicault as a serious and intense actor. The image offers a glimpse into the world of Victorian theatre and the dynamic between a royal patron and a talented artist. This caricature is a fascinating window into the past, offering insights into the lives of two influential figures and the cultural landscape of late 19th century London.
