This print captures the talented Mr. Robert Baddeley in the character of Petulant from William Congreve's renowned play, "The Way of the World". Taken at Drury Lane Theatre in 1764, this image showcases Baddeley's exceptional acting skills and his ability to bring characters to life on stage. In this copperplate engraving by J. Thornthwaite, based on an illustration by James Roberts, we see Baddeley fully immersed in his role as Petulant. His expressive face and dynamic posture convey the essence of this complex character known for his wit and arrogance. "The Way of the World" is a celebrated comedy that explores themes of love, deceit, and social status. As one of its key figures, Baddeley shines with his impeccable timing and delivery, capturing both the humor and depth within Congreve's work. This print is part of Bell's British Theatre collection curated by John Bell in London during the late 18th century. It serves as a testament to both Baddeley's talent as an actor and the enduring legacy of English plays from that era.
