EDITORS COMMENTS
In this engraving from the 18th century, we witness a moment of anticipation as Mary Robinson prepares to receive the Duke of Chartres. The English actress, poet, dramatist, and novelist is depicted in her bedchamber, surrounded by her ladies-in-waiting who are diligently assisting her in getting ready for this important rendezvous. Mary Robinson's elegance and poise are evident as she sits at her dressing table while a devoted servant attends to her needs. The atmosphere is charged with excitement as she readies herself to meet the distinguished duke. Her nickname "Perdita" adds an air of mystery and allure to this scene. As one of King George IV's mistresses, Mary Robinson was no stranger to high society and courtly affairs. This print captures a private moment before an encounter that could potentially shape history or ignite scandalous rumors within the royal circles. The artist skillfully portrays the opulence of Mary Robinson's surroundings with intricate details such as luxurious fabrics and ornate furniture. Through this image, we catch a glimpse into the world of aristocratic life during the 18th century. This enchanting engraving serves as a window into both historical events and personal relationships that shaped Mary Robinson's life.
