EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Mrs Elizabeth Hartley in the character of Jane Shore, as depicted in Nicholas Rowe's play "Jane Shore" at Covent Garden Theatre in 1772. Mrs Hartley was a renowned actor on the London stage during the 18th century and also gained notoriety for her scandalous personal life. The copperplate engraving by J. Thornthwaite, based on an illustration by James Roberts, is taken from Bell's British Theatre, a collection of esteemed English plays published in London in 1776. The image beautifully captures Mrs Hartley's portrayal of Jane Shore, a tragic figure caught up in political intrigue and romantic entanglements. In this striking depiction, Mrs Hartley exudes both vulnerability and strength as she embodies the complex emotions of her character. Her costume reflects the theatrical fashion of the time and adds to the authenticity of her performance. This print serves as a testament to Mrs Elizabeth Hartley's talent as an actress and her ability to captivate audiences with her dramatic interpretations.
