The Prophecy (Lord Redesadale, Lord Eldon & Lord Manners casting a spell on the Duke Of Cumberland in a scene from Macbeth

Descripción

Hand coloured litho caricature printed April 1829. Colours lovely and bright, trimmed to borders and backed onto soft cream card with a windowed mount at the back, just under 10.5 x 14 inches actual print size. Colouring all original, not later. Note* The Duke of Cumberland (right), as Macbeth, addresses the three witches who hold wands: Eldon between Lord Redesdale and Lord Manners. Striding forward, with outstretched arm, he says: 'Say why upon this blasted Heath you stop my way with such prophetic Greeting? Speak.' His cloak bellies in the wind; he is bareheaded and in quasi-military dress with short, buttoned tunic, tight strapped trousers, sword-belt, sword (which he grasps), and gauntlets. The witches wear conical hats and long lank gowns decorated with cabalistic markings. Redesdale is in profile, the other two (ex-Lord Chancellors) have on their breasts an 'X' supporting a skull wearing a judge's wig. 1829. N° de ref. del artículo 8294
