This print shows three actors in a scene from the opera *Love in a Village*. Johan Zoffany made it in 1768 as a black-and-white engraving. It’s part of the Victoria and Albert Museum’s collection of theater prints. The print captures Mr. Shuter, Mr. Beard and Mr. Dunstall posing as Justice Woodcock, Hawthorn and Hodge. It’s a snapshot of 18th-century stage life and Romantic-era taste. Next time you’re in London, look up the Victoria and Albert Museum.
