EDITORS COMMENTS
This vintage lithograph print by Phil May, dating back to the 1890s, is a delightful and humorous depiction of actors in costume. The cartoon captures the essence of entertainment with its amusing portrayal of characters selecting their make-up and padding for a performance. With his satirical drawing style, May skillfully brings out the comedic elements in this scene. The focus of the illustration lies on an actor examining various options to enhance his appearance on stage. His exaggerated weight and protruding stomach add a touch of comedy to the image. The artist's attention to detail can be seen in every aspect, from the cast members' expressions to their choice of costumes. May's talent shines through as he creates an entertaining narrative within this single frame. This satirical cartoon not only showcases his mastery but also serves as scathing satire on societal norms or perhaps even theatrical casting practices during that era. Preserved in private collection, this lithograph offers us a glimpse into the past while reminding us that humor has always been an integral part of human expression. Whether you are a fan of cartoons or simply appreciate historical artwork, this print is sure to bring joy and laughter into your space.
