"[1] 'H. Bunbury Esqr del.' 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 (?

Abstract:
Sir Watkin Williams-Wynn (1749-1789), politician and patron of the arts, held summer performances at his estate at Wynnstay, in North Wales. Bunbury incorporates into the design of this admission ticket the titles for the 1785 season: The Confederacy, As You Like It, The Agreeable Surprise, Venice Preserved, and Harlequin's Invasion. The titles are shown on banners held by the figures of Tragedy, Comedy, Pantomime, and Farce or draped over the branches of the tree. Bunbury uses Farce dressed as a harlequin holding a club labelled "invasion" to form a rebus of Garrick's play. In the background, the four figures are identified on the sails of a windmill. In the banner at the top of the oval is the name of the theatre and the year "1785"; at the top and bottom of the oval are the masks of comedy and tragedy
