EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a humorous moment in theatrical history, featuring Scottish novelist and dramatist Sir James Matthew Barrie (1860-1937) and the French actress Gaby Deslys. The image, created as a caricature by the renowned artist Simpson, dates back to 1929. At the time, Barrie was penning the script for the stage show "Rosy Rapture," in which Deslys would star during the First World War. The whimsical illustration finds Barrie seated, deep in thought, with his back to the audience, as he gazes intently at the stage above his head. The focus, however, is on the alluring legs of Deslys, which gracefully emerge from the shadows, adding an air of mystery and intrigue to the scene. Caricatures of Barrie and Deslys were popular during this era, and this particular print offers a unique glimpse into the creative process behind the production of "Rosy Rapture." The play, which was a huge success, showcased Deslys' captivating stage presence and her ability to captivate audiences, while Barrie's wit and storytelling skills shone through in the script. This print serves as a testament to the enduring power of the arts, as well as the unique relationship between writers, performers, and the creative process. The image is a delightful reminder of a bygone era, when the magic of the theatre could transport audiences to new worlds and leave them enchanted long after the final curtain call.
