EDITORS COMMENTS
Maria Theresa Bland, an accomplished actress and singer of the early 19th century, is depicted in this stunning handcolored stipple copperplate engraving as Madame Marbleu in the production of "Monsieur Tonson" at the Theatre Royal Drury Lane. The image, created by the skilled hands of engraver Robert Cooper after a painting by Samuel de Wilde, captures the essence of Bland's theatrical prowess and beauty. Bland's career began in the late 18th century, and she quickly rose to prominence on the London stage. Her portrayal of Madame Marbleu in "Monsieur Tonson" was one of her most memorable roles, showcasing her ability to convey both comedic timing and dramatic depth. The production, which premiered in 1822, was a huge success and solidified Bland's reputation as a talented and versatile performer. The Theatre Royal Drury Lane, where Bland graced the stage in "Monsieur Tonson," was one of the most prestigious theatres in London at the time. The theatre's rich history and grandeur are reflected in this exquisite engraving, which also serves as a testament to the enduring allure of live theatre and the artistry of those who brought it to life. This beautiful and intricately detailed engraving is part of D. Terry's British Theatrical Gallery, a collection that celebrates the rich history of British theatre and the remarkable performers who graced its stages. The use of handcoloring adds an extra layer of depth and vibrancy to the image, making it a true work of art that transports us back in time to the world of 19th-century theatre.
