EDITORS COMMENTS
This print transports us back to the enchanting world of 18th-century theater. Miss Ann Brown and Mr George Mattocks, two talented performers, are beautifully captured in their roles as Miranda and Ferdinand in an operatic adaptation of William Shakespeare's timeless play, The Tempest. The image showcases the exquisite costumes worn by Brown and Mattocks, reflecting the attention to detail that was characteristic of theatrical productions during this era. Their expressions convey a sense of wonderment and passion as they embody these iconic characters on stage at Covent Garden Theatre in 1776. George Mattocks, a versatile artist known for his skills as an actor, singer, and dancer, brings depth to Ferdinand's character with his commanding presence. Meanwhile, Miss Ann Brown (later Mrs Ann Cargill), a celebrated British opera diva whose life tragically ended in the shipwreck of the Nancy in 1784, captivates us with her gracefulness as Miranda. This copperplate engraving by Charles Grignion is based on an illustration drawn from life by Robert Dighton for The Universal Magazine. It immortalizes a moment from this remarkable performance that undoubtedly left audiences spellbound. As we admire this historical snapshot frozen in time, we are reminded of the enduring power of theater to transport us into fantastical worlds while showcasing extraordinary talent like that displayed by Miss Ann Brown and Mr George Mattocks.
