The moment of imagination, engraving 1785, Edward Topham, a pen in his hand, has just kicked over his circular writing table in frenzied inspiration. He raises his clenched fist. An inkstand and fragments of paper inscribed Epilogue Mrs. W. . . [Wells] Hay-Market, Epilogue Mrs. S. . . s [Siddons] Drury-Lane, and Prologue for Miss F. . . [Farren] Covent Garden lie on the floor. On the wall hangs an oval bust portrait of Mrs. Siddons. Over Topham's head is a small parrot in a cage, saying, Bravo Cptn. Prologue! Bravo!
