EDITORS COMMENTS
This caricature by Kate Carew brilliantly depicts the renowned American actress Laurette Taylor in her iconic role as Peg in Peg o' My Heart. The image, published by the Illustrated London News Ltd, dates back to a special charity matinee performance at the esteemed Garrick Theatre on July 30, 1920. Laurette Taylor's portrayal of Peg, a mischievous and headstrong character, had first enchanted audiences in the UK during the early years of the First World War. Her magnetic stage presence and unforgettable performance left a lasting impression on British theatre-goers. In this delightful caricature, Kate Carew masterfully captures the essence of Taylor's portrayal of Peg. The actress is depicted with a playful expression and a mischievous twinkle in her eye, while her signature red hair is artfully rendered in a cascade of curls. A faithful canine companion, perhaps a nod to Peg's famous line "I'll bring you back a dog from the war," sits at her feet, adding a touch of whimsy to the image. This caricature serves as a testament to the enduring appeal of Taylor's performance and the indelible mark she left on the British stage. The brief revival of Peg o' My Heart for the charity matinee at the Garrick Theatre in 1920 allowed a new generation of theatre-goers to experience the magic of Laurette Taylor as Peg, and this caricature offers a glimpse into that enchanting moment in time.
