- Abstract:
- "Mrs. Abington stands facing three quarters to the right dressed as Scrub in Farquhar's 'Beaux' Stratagem', with her hair in tightly curled ringlets (resembling the wig worn by Weston in the part). Her hand is in the pocket of a long, old-fashioned coat worn over an apron. On the wall behind her head is a bust of Farquhar, scowling down at her, disgusted to see a woman play the part. On each side is a picture: on the left the head and shoulders of a man calling "Murder Murder", the frame is inscribed, "Mr Weston in ye part of Scrub". On the right a woman emerges from the funnel of a bottle, as the Bottle Imp. She is of meretricious appearance, holds up a purse in her right hand, a mask in the left; the frame is inscribed, 'For the Benefit of Thalia For this Night only The Pit laid into the Boxes."--British Museum online catalogue
