Costume Commentary

  1. My guess is: It’s a print, possibly a handcoloured engraving or a colour print. At best a drawing. In any way, a work on paper, not a painting. Couldn’t find the original Buck or info on who might have printed editions in some of the public British Collections though. But I did stumble upon this framed prop whilst browsing for a completely different thing: Also walled and shown during the period ‘set’ scenes in The French Lieutenant’s woman 1981. (I just can’t seem to upload anything directly from my folders atm, only embed urls?!)

    • Thanks! This is helpful! I will make some adjustments.  Noted on French Lietenant – that’s cool! Ugh, sorry that is frustrating, let me look into it! Thanks for letting me know.

      • I sent the film still via edit suggestions which works just fine. Meanwhile: The UK National Trust lists prints of this and its accompanying motive (‘Don’t make me beg in vain‘ – is that the one shown in P&P aswell?) with the title/text intact (Come Father’s Hope! Come Mother’s Glory Now Listen To A Pretty Story) in the collection in Scotney Castle, Kent. Still, the uploaded picture quality is not enough to make out any eventual mark a printer might have left or gather further clues to possible editions. But the given measurements (280 x 240mm) seem similar to the prop frames.
