George de Warfaz in 'The Wind and the Rain': A Charming Caricature from the 1930s This delightful caricature captures the essence of George de Warfaz in his role as a theatrical actor during the 1930s. The image, titled 'George de Warfaz or 'medical specimens by Adams and Rouilly,'' is a humorous take on the diverse array of individuals involved in producing a theatrical production. The caption from The Tatler reads, 'not only the usual dressmakers and shoemakers, but also the suppliers of medical specimens, and even the manufacturers of Mackenzie Ward's ukulele.' The caricature shows George de Warfaz standing in the rain, holding an umbrella and wearing a raincoat. Despite the inclement weather, he maintains a cheerful expression, as if undeterred by the elements. Intriguingly, he is surrounded by various medical specimens, which are displayed in glass jars and boxes. This unexpected addition to the scene adds a touch of whimsy and intrigue to the image. George de Warfaz was a popular British actor who made his name on the London stage. He was known for his versatility and ability to play a wide range of roles. This caricature, created in 1933, captures his charisma and charm, even in the midst of a rainstorm and surrounded by medical specimens. The image is a fascinating glimpse into the world of 1930s theatre and the many individuals who contributed to its success.
