EDITORS COMMENTS
This cartoon portrait captures the vibrant personality of Mr. John Coleman (1831-1904), a versatile and accomplished figure of the late Victorian era. The image, created in 1886 by an unidentified artist, depicts Coleman in the midst of his theatrical career, wearing a top hat and holding a script in his hand. Born in Dublin, Ireland, Coleman made a name for himself as an actor, playwright, novelist, and memoirist, leaving an indelible mark on the stage and literary worlds of the 19th century. His acting career began in earnest in the 1850s, and he went on to manage several theaters, including the Prince of Wales's Theatre in London. As a writer, Coleman penned numerous plays, novels, and memoirs, often drawing on his experiences in the theater world. His works were popular and critically acclaimed, earning him a devoted following and critical acclaim. Despite his many accomplishments, this cartoon suggests that Coleman was not above a little self-deprecating humor. The effusive expression on his face and the exaggerated gestures of his hands seem to hint at a mischievous side, adding an intriguing layer to the public persona of this remarkable man. This charming cartoon is a testament to the enduring appeal of Coleman's talent and charisma, and serves as a reminder of the rich cultural landscape of the late Victorian era. The image is from the Mary Evans Picture Library, and was created in 1886, during the height of Coleman's career.
