EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Miss Ann Catley in the character of Euphrosyne, from John Milton's renowned play "Comus" performed at Covent Garden Theatre in 1772. Ann Catley, also known as Ann Lascelles, was a talented English singer and actress who graced the stage during the late 18th century. The image is a copperplate engraving by J. Thornthwaite, based on an illustration by James Roberts, featured in Bell's British Theatre publication from 1781. The attention to detail and artistic skill are evident in this exquisite portrayal of Miss Catley embodying her role as Euphrosyne. Euphrosyne is a significant character in Milton's "Comus" representing joy and mirth. Through her theatrical performance, Miss Catley brings this character to life with grace and elegance. The costume worn by Miss Catley reflects the fashion trends of the time period and adds authenticity to her portrayal. This print captures not only a moment from a historical performance but also highlights the artistry involved in theater production during that era. As we gaze upon this image, we are transported back to Covent Garden Theatre in 1772, where tragedy meets beauty on stage. It serves as a reminder of the enduring power of drama and its ability to captivate audiences across centuries. Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder has preserved this remarkable piece of theatrical history for us all to appreciate today.
