EDITORS COMMENTS
In this hand-coloured engraving titled "A Bath Beau and Frail Belle or the Mr B. and Miss L. from The English Spy" we are transported to a scene of clandestine romance in 19th-century England. The image, created by Isaac Robert Cruikshank, captures a moment of thrilling secrecy between two young lovers. The setting is an elegant parlour, adorned with delicate furniture and a tea service set for two. A chaperone stands nearby, unaware of the unfolding drama as the couple engages in their forbidden affair. With hearts racing, they find themselves caught in the act - their expressions revealing both excitement and trepidation. As if guided by instinct, the suitor swiftly formulates an escape plan. In a daring move that adds to the intrigue of this narrative, he decides to make his exit through the window while his beloved looks on anxiously. This print beautifully encapsulates not only the allure of hidden passion but also highlights societal norms and expectations during that era. It serves as a reminder that love can flourish even under challenging circumstances. Bridgeman Images has preserved this remarkable piece from The Stapleton Collection's private collection for us to appreciate today. Through its intricate details and masterful storytelling, it transports us back in time to witness this intimate moment between "Mr B" and "Miss L. "
