Cap.t Ayscough. From an Original Sketch by Dance, in the Collection of Sir William Musgrave Bar.t.
S. Haring sculp.
Pub.d Dec.r 1 1794, by E. & S. Harding, Pall Mall.
Stipple. 190 x 140mm (7½ x 5½") very large margins.
A posthumously-published sketch portrait of George Edward Ayscough (d.1779), dramatist and guards officer, nephew of the first Lord Lyttelton. In 1776 he produced a version of Voltaire's ‘Semiramis' at Drury Lane, which his brother officers attended in great force, securing its success. However Isaac Reed's '' Biographia dramatica'' (1782) described Ayscough as ‘a fool of fashion' and ‘a parasite of Lord Lyttelton'; 'Seniranis' is condemned as contemptible. Ayscough also editored the ''Miscellaneous Works'' of Lord Lyttelton, published 1774.
