Effects of tragedy [graphic].Cruikshank, Isaac, 1764-1811, printmaker[12 November 1795]eng"A theatre seen diagonally from the pit, with the stage on the right, two side boxes forming a background. On the stage a man in quasi-classical dress holds a dripping dagger, a woman lies at his feet; through an open door the prompter is seen. The audience is much disturbed: in the foreground a stout citizen holds a smelling-bottle to the nose of his (apparently) fainting young wife; she takes a note from a young man on the bench behind her. Behind stands a bearded Jew. In the stage-box two seated figures resemble the King and Queen, a man standing behind resembles Pitt."--British Museum online catalogueTitle from item.Printmaker identified in the British Museum catalogue.One of a series of Drolls.Plate numbered '163' in lower left corner.Temporary local subject terms: Theatrical performances -- Reference to adultery -- Medicine: salts.
