EDITORS COMMENTS
This image showcases Joseph Jefferson in the iconic role of Rip Van Winkle, a character from Washington Irving's classic American short story. In this unique rendition, Jefferson is depicted seated atop a large keg of H. & J. Lager Beer, with two playful goats pulling him forward. The satyrs on either side, their horns adorned with ivy and flowers, add an air of mischief and whimsy to the scene. The year is 187-, and this photograph offers a glimpse into the theatrical world of the time. Beer advertising in the late 19th century often incorporated elements of fantasy and mythology, and this image is no exception. The use of Rip Van Winkle, a figure known for his long slumber, may have been intended to suggest that the H. & J. Lager Beer was a refreshing and revitalizing beverage. Joseph Jefferson (1829-1905) was an esteemed American actor, known for his versatility and range. He began his career in the 1850s and went on to perform in numerous productions, including the title role in "Rip Van Winkle" in 1865. This photograph captures a memorable moment from one of his most beloved performances. The image's intricate details, from the goats' expressive faces to the intricate patterns on the satyrs' costumes, make it a striking and engaging work of art. This photograph not only offers a glimpse into the world of H. & J. Lager Beer but also into the theatrical and cultural landscape of the late 19th century.
