Summary

[edit]
Description
English: Title: The rehearsal or the baron and the elephant

Abstract: A satire on the Covent Garden pantomime of 1812-13, which caused a sensation by the performance of an elephant. The elephant crushes under a fore-foot a bust of Shakespeare and a number of open books. Baron Geramb, wearing an enormous moustache, bestrides the upper part of the trunk. On the elephant's back, in place of the 'Sultan of Cashmire,' sits John Kemble, who throws behind him his socks and ermine-bordered cloak inscribed "King John's Mantle" towards an actor, Elliston(?). Physical description: 1 print : etching, hand-colored.
