EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Mrs Mary Bulkley in the character of Lady Dainty, a role she never performed in London. Mrs Bulkley, later known as Mrs Barresford, was an esteemed English dancer and comedy stage actress during the 18th century. The image is a copperplate engraving by J. Thornthwaite, based on an illustration by James Roberts from Bells British Theatre. In this portrayal, Mrs Bulkley exudes elegance and charm as Lady Dainty. Her costume reflects the fashion of the time and adds to her theatrical presence on stage. The intricate details captured in this print highlight both her talent as an actress and the artistry involved in creating such performances. The Double Gauntlet, written by Colley Cibber, serves as the backdrop for this character's depiction.
