EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the talented Miss Harpur in her portrayal of Patty, a character from Isaac Bickerstaff's comic opera Maid of the Mill. Elizabeth Bannister, also known as Miss Harper, was a renowned British actress and opera singer during the 18th century. In this enchanting copperplate engraving by J. Thornthwaite after an illustration by James Roberts, we see Miss Harpur fully immersed in her role. Dressed in an exquisite costume that captures the essence of the era, she exudes both grace and vivacity on stage. Her expressive eyes convey a range of emotions as she brings Patty to life with her exceptional acting skills. The fine details captured by Thornthwaite's masterful technique make every line and contour come alive. This print is part of Bell's British Theatre collection, which features esteemed English plays from that time period. It serves as a testament to Miss Harpur's talent and contribution to the theatrical world during this golden age of drama. As you gaze upon this remarkable image, you can almost hear the applause echoing through Covent Garden Theatre or Drury Lane Theatre where Miss Harpur graced the stage with her performances. This print is not just a piece of art but also a window into history - it transports us back to an era when theater was at its zenith and actors like Miss Harpur were revered for their skillful interpretations of beloved characters.
