Artist
L. Thornthwaite
L. Thornthwaite is a Romanticism artist. 1 work is cataloged here, principally at Victoria and Albert Museum.
L. Thornthwaite made prints in the late 1700s, turning stage actors into characters you’d meet in comedies or farces. Look for the 1792 print “Mr Parsons as Dumps in the Natural Son,” where an actor poses in costume for a playbill-style portrait. These prints were quick, cheap souvenirs for theatergoers. Tap the print to read the funny name of the play he’s dressed for.
