A portrait of Alexander Pope (1688-1744), depicted in a bust, facing left in profile, wearing a laurel crown, and set within an oval frame lettered with greek letters. Jacob Christoph Le Blon (1667-1741) was a painter and engraver from Frankfurt who pioneered the system of three- and four-color printing. He used the RYB color model, which later evolved into the modern CMYK system. Le Blon employed the mezzotint technique to engrave three or four metal plates, each corresponding to a different ink, allowing for prints with a broad spectrum of colors. His innovations laid the groundwork for the development of modern color printing.

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.
