Paulson 1971, I, pp.3014, 540 n.2 The scene, the original painting for which is still in the collection of Lord Holland's descendants, shows a private children's performance of Dryden's The Indian Emperor or The Conquest of Mexico, produced by John Conduitt, Master of the Mint, at his town house in Hanover Square, and repeated at the Duke of Cumberland's request at St James's Palace before the Royal Family on 27 April 1732. Conduitt commissioned Hogarth to commemorate the occasion with a conversation piece of the young People of Quality that acted at his house. Hence Boydell's much later key to the sitters, which identifies some of the grown-ups whose heads are averted, is unlikely to be accurate. In Boydell's Catalogue of Plates, 1803, Dodd's print is described as a companion to Blake's engraving of The Beggar's Opera (T01801). Margins a bit short some slight foxing , but in good / very good condition. A fine theatre print. small tear repaired. |
