This evocative print captures the poignant final scene of Act I in the historic 1782 opera "The Beggar's Opera" by John Gay. In this poignant moment, Macheath, portrayed by Mr. Matocks, and Polly, played by Mrs. Cargill, bid each other a heartfelt farewell as they stand before an open door leading to a dimly lit staircase.
