Regency gentleman and lady eloping, she escaping from a window to a waiting carriage. A love scene not to be found in the works of Shakespeare. The Elopement. Love laughs at the locksmith the Devil to pay. Proteus and the beautiful Maria swear eternal constancy. Actors no more than other men. Nature our greatest Master. Matrimony in view. Handcoloured engraving etched by Theodore Lane from Pierce Egan’s The Life of an Actor, Pickering and Chatto, London, 1892.
