VISUAL DESCRIPTION
This is a vintage publication page, specifically from "The Sketch Supplement" dated April 28, 1897. The image features an illustration or photograph of an actor portraying two different characters in one composite image. The caption reads: "TWO (EASTERN) GENTLEMEN ROLLED INTO ONE": AN ACTOR.
Below the main caption are further descriptions identifying the characters represented by the actor as "KARIM BABA, A WEALTHY MERCHANT" and "ABDUL SHAKATA, A COBBLER," both roles played by Mr. Frank Cochrane—a study from life at Liberty & Co.'s Eastern Bazaar.
The character depicted has a joyful expression with a wide grin and sparkling eyes that convey mirth or amusement. He wears traditional eastern attire including what appears to be a turban-style headgear.
The overall presentation suggests that this was part of promotional material for some theatrical performance or exhibition at Liberty & Co.'s Eastern Bazaar during that era, showcasing the versatility of actors in adopting various personas within their craft.
