EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Harriet Constance Smithson in her role as Miss Dorrillon in the play "Wives as They Were and Maids as They Are" at the prestigious Theatre Royal Drury Lane in London, circa 1822. The image is based on a painting by renowned artist George Clint and was expertly hand-colored using the stipple technique by Robert Cooper. Part of the D. Terry's British Theatrical Gallery collection, published by Henry Berthoud Jr. in 1825, this print offers a glimpse into the world of 19th-century British theater. Harriet Smithson, an Irish-born actress, made her London debut in 1813 and quickly gained recognition for her talent and beauty. In "Wives as They Were and Maids as They Are," she portrayed the character of Miss Dorrillon, a young woman who, despite her virtuous nature, is deceived and ultimately abandoned by her lover. Smithson's powerful performance in this tragic role left a lasting impression on audiences and solidified her status as a leading actress of her time. The intricately detailed hand-coloring of this print adds depth and vibrancy to the image, bringing Smithson's expressive features and the rich textures of her costume to life. The stage setting, with its ornate curtains and grand architecture, further emphasizes the theatrical nature of the scene. This print is an invaluable historical record of Smithson's career and the world of 19th-century British theater.
