This 1898 drawing shows lively scenes from a Christmas pantomime called *Dick Whittington and his Cat*. It’s a quick pen-and-ink sketch made for a magazine, full of performers and stage moments. Cleaver dated and signed the piece right on the page. A big gift of these theater drawings came to the museum from one generous donor in 1914. If you like this kind of lively stage art, look up the Victoria and Albert Museum.
