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. Engraved by the mezzotint engraver and printseller Robert Laurie (1755?-1836). Music, instruments and mask (representing theatre) in title area.

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 a painting by draughtsman and singer 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.

About 1804 Sillett went to reside at Lynn, where he taught drawing and made the illustrations for Richards's ‘History of Lynn,’ published in 1812. In 1810 he removed to Norwich, where he passed the remainder of his life in the constant practice of his art. He was president of the Norwich Society of Artists in 1815, but was one of the seceders from the original body.

This gave rise to the phenomenon of young couples marrying over the border in Scotland, which inspired many satirical prints depicting both the joys and perils of impulsive decisions.
