EDITORS COMMENTS
In the vibrant and dynamic world of late 19th century America, the enchanting English actress, Ellen Terry (1847-1928), graces the stage with her captivating presence. Depicted in this charming cartoon from October 27, 1883, by Bryan, Ellen stands proudly, her hat tilted at a jaunty angle, her arm gracefully extended, and her dress adorned with intricate patterns. The American audience, represented by the allegorical figure of Uncle Sam, eagerly awaits her performance with bated breath. Ellen Terry, a popular and beloved figure in Victorian England, had embarked on a tour of America to share her acting talents with her American counterparts. The charisma and charm that had won her the hearts of her British fans were now being put to the test on American soil. The man in the foreground, identified as Jonathan, gazes intently at Ellen, his expression a mixture of admiration and anticipation. The other men in the crowd, with their rapt attention, attest to the magnetic pull of Ellen's artistry. This cartoon, a testament to the enduring appeal of Ellen Terry and her acting prowess, captures a pivotal moment in her illustrious career. As she stands before her American audience, Ellen Terry is poised to win over the hearts of the American people, just as she had done in her native land.
