EDITORS COMMENTS
This caricature portrays the renowned Irish actor and playwright, Dion Boucicault, in the character of Conn from his own play "The Shaughraun," most likely performed at the prestigious Theatre Royal in Drury Lane, London, during the 1870s. Boucicault, born around 1820, was a versatile and prolific figure in Victorian theatre, excelling both on stage and behind the scenes as a playwright. In this image, he is depicted with a mischievous grin, clad in traditional Irish attire, and holding a bottle, adding to the lively and entertaining spirit of the production. The caricature, created by an unknown artist, captures Boucicault's distinctive features, including his peaked cap and bushy mustache, further emphasizing his unique charm and charisma. The racial typecasting of the character Conn, a common stereotype during this era, is evident in the caricature, reflecting the societal norms of the time. Despite this, Boucicault's talent and influence on the stage left an indelible mark on the history of theatre.
