Mezzotint, platemark 155 x 115mm (6 x 4½"), a good impression with very large margins. Glued to backing sheet along left edge.
George Mattocks (1734/5-1804), singer and theatre manager. Initially a singer in Covent Garden and the provinces, Mattocks leased the Portsmouth theatre in 1771 and the following year leased the newly built Theatre Royal in Liverpool alongside the Covent Garden prompter Joseph Younger. They also took a twenty-one-year lease on the Manchester theatre in 1775 and Mattocks became involved with a Birmingham theatre in 1779. Mattocks concentrated on management but began to lose singing roles in London to younger performers, and in 1784 moved with his wife, singer and actress Isabella Mattocks, to the north of England. Younger died that year, leaving Mattocks in sole charge of the Liverpool and Manchester theatres, sustaining heavy losses. Isabella returned to performing in London and George was declared bankrupt in 1788 after which he worked in administrative positions at other theatres. 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.

Rare mezzotint. 155 x 115mm (6 x 4½"), a good impression, uncut. Glued to backing sheet along left edge at corners.
Isabella Mattocks (née Hallam) (1746-1826), actress and singer. Born into a theatrical family, her father Lewis moved to America in 1752, having run into financial difficulties. He took his wife and other children but left Isabella in the care of his sister and her second husband, actor John Barrington. Isabella probably made her stage debut that year, aged five, appearing intermittently on stage until she joined the Covent Garden company aged sixteen, where she spent most of her career. She married the young tenor George Mattocks, who performed alongside her, in 1765. In 1784-6 Mattocks left Covent Garden to work in Liverpool and Manchester where her husband managed theatres, but the enterprises ruined him financially and she subsequently returned to Covent Garden, although she generally returned to Liverpool in the summers. Mattocks retired in 1808. 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.

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.

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.

Rare stipple engraving, Proof impression; platemark 210 x 150mm (8¼ x 6"). Creases.
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.

Published Jan.y. 1. 1788 by Torre & Co. No. 132 Pall Mall.
Stipple engraving. Plate 150 x 175mm (6 x 7"), large margins. Tiny dent on lower edge of plate in centre.
Portrait of Mary 'Perdita' Robinson (British, 1758–1800), an English actress, poet, dramatist, novelist, and socialite. She earned her nickname for her role as Perdita (heroine of Shakespeare's The Winter's Tale) in 1779. She was the first public mistress of King George IV while he was still Prince of Wales. Her husband, Thomas Robinson, was imprisoned for debt in the Fleet Prison where she lived with him for many months. It was here that her literary career really began, as she found that she could publish poetry to earn money, her first book, Poems By Mrs. Robinson, was published in 1775. After her husband obtained his release from prison, Robinson decided to return to the theatre. She launched her acting career and took to the stage playing Juliet at Drury Lane Theatre in December 1776. From the late 1780s, Robinson became distinguished for her poetry and was called "the English Sappho". In addition to poems, she wrote eight novels, three plays, feminist treatises, and an autobiographical manuscript that was incomplete at the time of her death. She championed the rights of women and was an ardent supporter of the French Revolution. She died in poverty at Englefield Cottage, Englefield Green, Surrey, 26 December 1800, aged 44.

Portraits of the actor Daniel Terry and his artist wife Elizabeth, seated in a dark room. Etched by the Scottish painter and etcher Andrew Geddes (1783-1844). The Oxford DNB states that 'as an etcher Geddes ranks higher than as a painter; his plates may be regarded as among the very earliest examples in modern British art of the brilliancy, concentration, and spirited selection of line proper to a ‘painter's-etching''.

Etching with very large margins, platemark 140 x 175mm (5½ x 7").
Portraits of the actor Daniel Terry and his artist wife Elizabeth, seated in a dark room. Etched by the Scottish painter and etcher Andrew Geddes (1783-1844). The Oxford DNB states that 'as an etcher Geddes ranks higher than as a painter; his plates may be regarded as among the very earliest examples in modern British art of the brilliancy, concentration, and spirited selection of line proper to a ‘painter's-etching''. This plate was one of ten he published himself in 1826.
