A very large print from the original copper plate engraved in 1792 by Robert Dodd from William Hogarth's painting of 1732. The scene, the original painting for which is still in the collection of Lord Holland's descendants, shows a private children's performance of Dryden's The Indian Emperor or The Conquest of Mexico, produced by John Conduitt, Master of the Mint, at his town house in Hanover Square, and repeated at the Duke of Cumberland's request at St James's Palace before the Royal Family on 27 April 1732. Conduitt commissioned Hogarth to commemorate the occasion with a conversation piece 'of the young People of Quality that acted at his house'. This copy of the print is from the last great edition of original Hogarth prints published by Baldwin Cradock and Joy in c1837. The print is on very good cream coloured wove paper. The impression is a little bit lacking in depth.
