This caricature shows Jane Baxter (1909-1996) in The Holly and the Ivy by Wynyard Browne, at the Oxford New Theatre on 12 June 1951. It was drawn by Gilbert Sommerlad (1904-1976), a rehearsal pianist and orchestral violinist at the Brighton Theatre Royal from 1932 until 1936, and at the Oxford New Theatre from 1936 for over forty years. Sommerlad sketched the stars on stage when he wasn't needed in the orchestra pit, compiling the sketches in a series of albums.
