EDITORS COMMENTS
This silhouette print, sourced from Mary Evans Prints Online, showcases a unique and intriguing encounter between two renowned figures of the Regency era: the tragic actress, Mrs Siddons (Sarah Siddons, 1755-1831), and the Irish comedic actor, Tyrone Power (1795-1841), depicted in the character of D. O'Toole and in ordinary dress. The silhouettes were created by the celebrated silhouette artist, August Edouart, around 1820. Mrs Siddons, known as the "first lady of the English stage," dominated the London theatre scene with her powerful and emotive performances in tragedies. Her fame reached an unprecedented level, and she was admired by both her contemporaries and future generations. Tyrone Power, on the other hand, was a popular comedic actor, known for his quick wit and ability to bring laughter to audiences. His portrayal of D. O'Toole, an eccentric and comical character, was a favorite among theatre-goers. The juxtaposition of these two contrasting figures in a single silhouette print is a testament to the diverse range of talent that graced the Regency stage. The intricate details and delicate shading in the silhouettes, created by August Edouart, further emphasize the artistry and skill of the silhouette medium during this period. This print offers a fascinating glimpse into the world of Regency theatre, showcasing the captivating personalities and talents of two of its most celebrated figures. The silhouettes of Mrs Siddons and Tyrone Power, as captured by August Edouart, are not only a testament to their enduring legacy but also a beautiful work of art in their own right.
