Provenance
Anonymous sale S.J. Hales , 22nd May 2002, lot 5009; formerly in the collection of theatrical figures of Henry McGee; bequeathed 2006.
This figure appears to represent John Palmer in Shakespeare’s ‘Henry VI’, Part III, based on the similarity to a print showing the actor as the Earl of Warwick and published in John Bell’s Edition of Shakespeare’s Plays in the 1770s, and reissued in an expanded edition from 1785.
