"The Rehearsal, or the Baron and the Elephant" is a satirical print created by noted British caricaturist George Cruikshank I in the19th century. The work is a biting commentary on the lavish productions of John Philip Kemble at the Covent Garden Theatre, specifically focusing on the use of animals in productions.

This print showcases a rehearsal scene where Kemble, depicted as the 'Baron', controls an elephant, representing the extravagance of the performances. The exercise of power and influence is critically portrayed through the Baron's command over the colossal creature, reflecting on the excesses of theatrical productions of the time.

Cruikshank's visual satire presents detailed, lively and often humorous representations of contemporary political, social and cultural issues. The Rehearsal, with its expressive human and animal characters, intricate depiction of the theatre setting and layered thematic motifs, is a significant example of Cruikshank's oeuvre.

Historically important, this artwork provides an incisive social commentary of the momentous changes in British theatre production during Kemble's tenure, serving as a valuable resource for understanding the criticism faced by theatre practices of the period from artists and social commentators.
