[Mary Ann Yates] Mrs. Yates.
R. Dighton Pinx.t. R. Laurie Sculp.
Pub.d as the Act Directs March 1st 1780 by W. Richardson No. 68 High Holborn
Mezzotint. 155 x 115mm (6 x 4½"), uncut. Glued to backing sheet on left corner.
Mary Ann Yates (née Graham) (1728-1787), actress and theatre manager. She made her debut with Garrick's Drury Lane company in 1754 and in 1756 married another member of the company, the recently-widowed comedian Richard Yates (1706?-1796). She remained a regular member of Garrick's company until 1767, when she switched her allegiances to the rival Covent Garden Theatre, allegedly for financial reasons (although Yates denied this). She then broke with Covent Garden, less for financial reasons than the company's reluctance to retain Richard Yates, and in 1773 she took over management, with novelist and playwright Frances Brooke, of the King's Theatre, then London's home of opera. Around this time Richard Yates took over a playhouse in Birmingham, where Mary Ann sometimes performed. Having improved the fortunes of the King's Theatre, Yates returned to Drury Lane and sold her share in the King's Theatre. London's leading tragedienne of the period, Yates was admired by the public, with notable admirers including Horace Walpole and William Godwin. 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 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.

Henry Yorke Esq.r. Of High Determin'd Spirit -, By Ancient Learning to th'enlightened Love, Of Ancient Freedom warm'd.
Painted by W Hay. Engrav.d by J Ward. Engraver in Mezzotinto to the Prince of Wales.
London Pub.d July 21. 1796 by W. Hay No. 68 Margaret S.t Cavendish Square.
Mezzotint, sheet 290 x 215mm (11½ x 8½"). Trimmed within plate.
Portrait of the English writer and radical publicist Henry Redhead Yorke (1772–1813), depicted almost half-length, turned slightly to the right within a rectangular frame. He faces the viewer directly and wears a coat with a high collar and epaulettes, a frilled shirt, and a wig. Yorke was raised in Barbuda and later England, the son of a freed Barbadian woman (Sarah Bullock (c.1745–1801)) and a father (Samuel Redhead (1704-1785)) whose wealth derived from Caribbean slaveholding. Educated at Cambridge and trained at the Inner Temple, he became involved in radical politics in the early 1790s, witnessing the French Revolution firsthand before breaking with revolutionary extremists and returning to Britain. His outspoken activism led to arrest and imprisonment for sedition in 1795, after which his views moderated and he later supported the Pitt government’s war policy.
