Exhibition history
Garrick Club Exhibition 'Laughter Lines - Actor Members of the Club in 'Garrickature'' (August - December 2019), Curated by Dr Mark Bryant
Literature
Pub. Vanity Fair 1 March 1890; inscr: "Mr. John Hare"
Hare wears evening dress, with gold watch-chain and cuff-links. He holds a cigarette case or lucifer in his left hand and a cigarette in his right. The peculiar extension of the thumb was presumably a characteristic gesture.
