Edward Shuter with Mrs. Woffington in the Merry Wives of Windsor published 14 Dec 1756
-
A print of Edward Shuter as Falstaff and Margaret Woffington as Mrs Ford in Shakespeare's Merry Wives of Windsor. The figures are shown full length in an interior.
This may be the print of 'Mr Shuter & Mrs Woffington in the Merry Wives of Windsor' purchased by George IV from Colnaghi & Co. on 19 April 1813 (Royal Archives GEO/MAIN/27841), but it is hard to reconcile the price of 5 shillings inscribed on the verso of the print and the price of 6 shillings given in the Colnaghi invoice, unless one is an error on the part of the writer.Provenance
Perhaps acquired by George IV when Prince Regent
