EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving titled "Liston as 'Paul Pry'" transports us back in time to the 19th century. The image showcases a theatrical scene featuring the renowned actor, Liston, portraying the character of Paul Pry. Liston's expressive face is beautifully captured by George Cruikshank, a talented artist of that era. His attention to detail brings out every nuance of Liston's performance, allowing us to imagine his comedic timing and larger-than-life stage presence. The composition exudes a sense of energy and movement, with Liston depicted mid-action, perhaps engaging in one of his famous comic monologues or interacting with other characters on stage. The viewer can almost hear the laughter from the audience as they are entertained by Liston's humorous antics. This print was originally published in The Graphic on June 20th, 1887 - an illustrated newspaper that aimed to bring art and news together for its readers. It serves as a testament to Liston's enduring popularity even after his passing. As we gaze upon this historical artwork from our private collection today, it reminds us of the timeless appeal of theater and comedy. It invites us to appreciate both Liston's talent as an actor and Cruikshank's skillful interpretation through this exquisite engraving.
