Blank greetings card with envelope featuring:

Sir (Thomas Henry) Hall Caine NPG 3667

© National Portrait Gallery, London

by Bernard Partridge

Caine was of striking appearance, with pronounced eyes that Partridge lightly caricatures in this portrait. He cultivated his resemblance to the Stratford portrait of Shakespeare, and would reportedly point it out if those he met did not remark on it. Caine knew Henry Irving through his sideline as a theatre critic, and it is possible that it was this connection that led to Partridge meeting the writer.
