Punch (left) points to a large butt or tun inscribed 'WYNNSTAY', from the top of which hang comic masks which encircle its upper circumference; in his right hand is a stick with an ass's head. On the right side of the butt are three figures: Mother Shipton, humpbacked with a profile like Punch's; a demon or satyr, who looks from behind the cask; and a small man or boy, perhaps Tom Thumb. [2] 'View of the Theatre at Wynnstay. I. Evans Esqr del.' A view of the theatre is framed by a curtain held up (left) by Comedy and right by Tragedy. The façade has the date '1782'. [3] 'Wynnstay. H. Bunbury Esqr del.' Amateur actors and actresses dance in a circle round a high pedestal supporting a bust of (?) Shakespeare. They include a Falstaff leering at a lady in Elizabethan dress, a man wearing a tall leek in his hat (? Fluellen), and a French military officer with long queue and cavalier's boots."--British Museum online catalogue</dc:description><dc:description>Title from text above images.</dc:description><dc:description>Three designs arranged in a vertical strip, each with its own title and artist's signature.</dc:description><dc:description>Sheet trimmed to plate mark leaving thread margins.</dc:description><dc:description>Plate from: The European magazine, and London Review, v. 9 (February 1786), page 71.</dc:description><dc:description>Temporary local subject terms: Buildings: Theatre at Wynnstay.</dc:description></oai_dc:dc>
