EDITORS COMMENTS
This caricature depicts George Henry Howard Paul, an American writer, playwright, comic actor, and theatre manager, who made a significant impact on the Victorian stage in the UK. In this illustration, Paul is seen addressing a line of policemen during an inspection parade, delivering the humorous line, "And never use a big, big D!" The year is 1880, and Paul, dressed in a top hat and long frock coat, stands before the policemen, all in uniform, with their helmets at the ready. His expressive face, characterized by a long nose and moustache, conveys a sense of playful mischief. The policemen, taken aback by Paul's unexpected interruption, turn to look at him with a mix of amusement and confusion. This scene is a nod to the popular Gilbert and Sullivan operetta, HMS Pinafore, which contains the line Paul is referencing as a subtle warning against using a swear word. The use of humor and wit in this caricature underscores Paul's talent as a comic performer and his ability to connect with audiences. Paul's career spanned various roles in the theatre world, from acting to writing and managing productions. His contributions to the Victorian stage left a lasting impact, and this caricature serves as a testament to his charisma and comedic prowess.
