- Abstract
-
One of a collection of four similar images; the others in this series are: Mr. Kean as Othello; Madame Vestris as Don Giovani; Miss Bartolozzi as the page in The marriage of Figaro. Formerly part of an album (now lost), each on the same size sheet but different colors and attributed to different artists. Annotations in red ink are by the same hand. Presumably these collages, constructed from the same fabrics, were made by friends and exchanged as gifts. This collage shows full-length image of a woman, identified as Miss Hargraves. Her head and neck, arms, and feet have been cut from an unidentifed print or prints while her costume and its trimming are cut from satin cloth. On each side are small images also cut from prints: on the right a house with a second story wrap-around porch and on the right a covered structure ladened with refreshments
On the back of this collage are mounted three small engravings of women in fashionable dress; with notes in red ink "Presented by Sarah, Apl. 8 1830" written twice in the upper left and right and below also on the right and left "The author returns thanks". In the same hand the middle print has been annotated "Kemble" which is also engraved in the plate with the author and printmaker statements "R. Cruikshank delt. J. Rogers sc."
