About this work
A hand-coloured caricature print shows a group of exaggerated political figures in a theatre lobby labelled Republican Theatre, with one man holding a sheet reading Great Republican Farce Comedy, Presidential Aspirations, Star Part. The figures wear costumes such as a red cape, a plumed hat, a military coat and a green frock coat, and the scene is signed by John Samuel Pughe and dated 1896.
