This cartoon portrait captures the essence of Paul Martinetti, an American pantomime performer who made a name for himself in London's Victorian theatre scene during the late 1800s. The image, titled "Paul Martinetti, American Pantomime Performer," is a testament to the entertainer's charm and skill as a pantomime artist.

The enthralled audience, composed of men and women, is shown in the background, their attention fully captured by the performer's mesmerizing act. The annual, likely a theatre program or playbill, from which this cartoon portrait was taken, dates back to the 1880s. The late Victorian era was a golden age for pantomime in London, and Martinetti was a popular and beloved figure in the pantomime world. His performances were known for their wit, humor, and physical comedy, making him a favorite among theatre-goers. This cartoon portrait offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back to the enchanting world of Victorian theatre and the captivating art of pantomime.
