This drawing by A.S. Boyd pokes fun at the theater scene in the late 1800s. It shows women waving playbills in front while two men look awkward off to the side. Boyd’s joke is that plays about women had basically taken over the stage. Back then, the stage was full of dramas starring women. This piece laughs at how outnumbered male roles had become. Check out the Victoria and Albert Museum for more.
