Histrionic Egotism by George du Maurier. Scanned image and text by George P. Landow [This image may be used without prior permission for any scholarly or educational purpose.]
Commentary: Unlike du Maurier's sympathetic depictions of the travails of artists and their wives, this view of the actor focuses on their egotism and not that of the audience.
