Description
Title, place of publication and printmaker from ms. note by George Steevens in his collections of Hogarth prints.
Steevens's note mounted below: "Inside of an Opera-House. This plate (which in manner is strongly Hogarthian, and might have suggested to him an idea of the scenery we meet with in "Booth, Wilks and Cibber contriving a pantomime") was sold as a performance of our Artist, at Mr. Gulston's Auction, for two pounds four shillings. It was, however, engraved in Holland, with the following inscription at the bottom of it, which had been craftily effaced by some print-dealer for the purposes of deception.--P. Marot fecit, avec Privilege des Etats generaux des provinces unis et d'Holland. W.F."
Sheet trimmed to plate mark.
On page 22 in volume 1.
Provenance
