Engraving with stipple, before title, on laid India paper, SIGNED BY ENGRAVER.
Margaret Woffington, known as 'Peg' Woffington, took leading roles in Dublin and London. 'Peg' was supreme in comic parts, but was also celebrated for her Shakespearean roles. She was known for her bitter rivalries with other actresses (she stabbed Mrs Bellamy during a performance), and for her supposed love affairs, most notably with David Garrick who wrote 'My Lovely Peggy' and other songs for her. This print is based on an eighteenth century mezzootint by Peter van Bleeck.
