EDITORS COMMENTS
Forever Young: A Peek into the Theatrical World of Deceptive Appearances - Early 19th Century Step into the world of the theatre, where the enchanting illusion of 'Forever Young' unfolds. This print, sourced from Mary Evans Picture Library, transports us back to the early 19th century and offers a fascinating glimpse into the intricate world of theatrical makeup and preparation. The performer, with a twinkle in her eye and a mischievous grin, stands before a mirror in her dressing room. The mirror reflects her true age, but the theatrical magic begins as she transforms herself into 'Forever Young.' With a deft touch, she applies false teeth, paints her eyes with rich, dark hues, and dusts her cheeks with rosy rouge. Each stroke of her makeup brush brings her closer to the character she is about to embody. The theatrical costume, hanging nearby, waits to be donned. The layers of deception continue as she slips into the elaborate garments, concealing her true identity. The final touches are added, completing the transformation. This comic print, titled 'Cartoon, Forever Young - Appearances Deceive,' serves as a reminder of the power of theatre and the artistry that lies within its walls. It showcases the extraordinary lengths performers went to in order to deceive their audiences and transport them to another world. The humour in this print lies in the contrast between the performer's true age and her youthful appearance on stage. As we admire this enchanting print, we are reminded of the enduring allure of the theatre and the magic that lies within its walls. The theatrical world of 'Forever Young' continues to captivate and deceive, leaving us longing for more.
