This caricature, created in 1883 by an unknown artist, offers a humorous yet insightful look into the life of this extraordinary man. Born in France, Lauri Junior specialized in animal roles, studying their movements in great detail to make his performances look authentic. His most famous character was the Poodle, a role he played with such skill and charm that audiences couldn't help but be enchanted. In this image, Lauri Junior is depicted in full costume, complete with a fur-trimmed coat, a poodle headpiece, and a long, curly tail. The caricature captures the performer's expressive face, which is filled with mischief and delight. The artist has also included a small acrobat, perhaps a nod to Lauri Junior's versatility as an entertainer. The Victorian era was a golden age for pantomime, and Lauri Junior was one of its most beloved stars. His performances at the Drury Lane Theatre were a highlight of the season, and his ability to bring animals to life on stage was unmatched.
