Mr. Palmer
R. Dighton Pinx.t. R. Laurie Sculp.
Pub.d as the Act Directs July 10. 1779 by W. Richardson No. 68 High Holborn
Mezzotint. 155 x 115mm (6 x 4½"), a good impression, uncut. Glued to backing sheet top left corner.
John Palmer (1744-98), actor, also known as 'Plausible Jack'. A popular and versatile actor, Palmer was believed to have performed over 375 different parts in his career. Palmer's remarkable career took him to many parts of the British Isles, including spells in Scotland and Ireland. After establishing himself as an actor, Palmer opened a new theatre, the Royalty, on Wellclose Square in East London. The theatre was open for less than two years however, and failed to offer the alternative to the West End which Palmer hoped to provide. His later career involved producing spectacles at the Royal Circus, but he was an actor to the last. Palmer had been beset by accidents throughout his career, including a near-fatal accident when a stage trap was released too quickly, and a stabbing when a spring in a dagger failed to work. He continued to work strenuously right up to his death, when taking on a lead role in Benjamin Thompson's 'The Stranger' at short notice. Clearly struggling, Palmer collapsed on stage and died during the fourth act. From a set of small mezzotint portraits of actors published by the printseller William Richardson in 1779. Engraved after a painting by draughtsman and singer Robert Dighton (1751-1814) by the mezzotint engraver and printseller Robert Laurie (1755?-1836). Music, instruments and mask (representing theatre) in title area.
Ex: collection of the late Hon. C. Lennox-Boyd; CS 1 iii/iii; O'D 7; for the Royal Circus see ref. 8120. Ex: Oettingen-Wallerstein Collection.

Mademoiselle Parisot.
Painted by A.W.Devis. Engraved by I.R.Smith Mezzotinto Engraver to his Royal Highness the Prince of Wales.
London Published as the Act directs March 11 1797 by A.W.Devis.
Mezzotint, open letters. 610 x 380mm. Trimmed to platemark at bottom.
Rose Parisot (c.1775-1837), French opera singer and ballerina, 'celebrated for the scantiness of her draperies' (Frankau). Parisot made her debut in Paris in 1789, and moved to London in 1796 (this print was published the following year). Her sheer costumes, which often exposed one breast, caused scandal, as recorded in many satirical prints of the 1790s. The Bishop of Durham denounced Parisot's costumes as 'indecent', and after an address to the House of Lords in 1798 certain adjustments were made. Her celebrated career ended in 1807, after which she married a Soho florist. Engraved by the celebrated mezzotint engraver John Raphael Smith and published by the portrait painter Arthur William Devis (1762-1822), from whose portrait the engraving is made. After a decade working in India, Devis struggled to establish himself in London in the late 1790s, but by 1800 he was in dire financial straits, and was finally imprisoned in 1804.

Mezzotint. 155 x 115mm (6 x 4½"), with very large margins. Slight mount paper tone.
Elizabeth Pope (née Younge) (1742-1818), actress. She joined David Garrick's company at Drury Lane, where she made her debut in 1768 and spent most of her career (except for brief spells in Dublin, Bristol and the rival Covent Garden theatre as the result of pay disputes). She continued to act in provincial cities during the summers, however, and met her husband, the Irish artist and actor Alexander Pope (1763-1835) while performing in Ireland. While not among the greats of either tragedy or comedy, Pope was a versatile performer and Garrick seemed to have much affection for her. She died in 1797 shortly after withdrawing from a new theatrical role due to illness. From a set of small mezzotint portraits of actresses and singers, published by the printseller William Richardson in 1780, apparently to follow up a similar set of actor portraits published the previous year.

Jane Pope (1744-1818), actress. Pope's father William was barber and wigmaker for the Theatre Royal, Drury Lane in Covent Garden, near to which his shop was located. Pope made her adult debut alongside Kitty Clive as part of Garrick's company at Drury Lane, and inherited many of Clive's roles after the elder actress retired. Pope was a reliable comic actress, a talented dancer (until a rapid weight gain led her to abandon dancing) celebrated for the clarity of her speaking voice. Pope retired in 1808, and had amassed sufficient wealth to bequeath significant money and property to her sister Susanna at her death. Engraved after Robert Dighton (1751-1814) by the mezzotint engraver and printseller Robert Laurie (1755?-1836) as part of a series of mezzotints of actresses and singers. Music, instruments and mask (representing theatre) in title area.

Beaumont Read (1833-1910), an American singer said to be the greatest male alto singer to appear on the Australian stage. Having been a member of ''Hague’s Georgia Slave Troupe'' (when it included white performers), he came to Australia via South Africa in 1874. After a failed attempt to run a photographic business in Melbourne he became a huge star with ''Hiscocks' Federal Minstrals'' in the 1880s. Read retired in 1903 and moved to Adelaide where he taught singing. This portrait is probably from the cover of sheet music.

Mary Robinson (1756/8?-1800), author and actress often known as 'Perdita'. It was while performing this role in Shakespeare's 'The Winter's Tale' in 1779 that she caught the attention of the future George IV, who fell passionately in love with her. After the affair ended in 1780 there was talk of blackmail and Robinson only returned the prince's letters in exchange for £5000 and the promise of an annuity. Her subsequent lovers included Colonel Banastre Tarleton and Whig politician Charles James Fox. In addition to being an exhibitionist who was painted and caricatured more than any woman of the day, Robinson was also a writer whose best works are now considered significant contributions to Romanticism (Coleridge called her a 'woman of undoubted Genius'). Engraving after a portrait by Sir Joshua Reynolds, the leading portrait painter of the late 18th century.
