Dating back to the 1890s, this sketch offers a humorous yet historically accurate portrayal of the period's fashion and theatrical traditions. May's masterful use of lines and shading brings the actor's character to life, capturing the essence of the era's thespian community. The tricorn hat, a distinctive symbol of the 17th century, sits proudly on the actor's head, its triangular shape and wide brim adding to the overall authenticity of the costume. The actor's stern gaze and posture convey a sense of confidence and determination, as if he is about to deliver a powerful monologue or engage in a passionate scene.

May's ability to capture the spirit of the era, along with the actor's dramatic flair, makes this print a must-have for history enthusiasts, art collectors, and anyone with an appreciation for the rich tapestry of the past. Whether displayed in a home, office, or library, this caricature is sure to be a conversation starter and a source of delight for all who behold it.
