A peep behind the curtain at Drury Lane [graphic]Sayers, James, 1748-1823, printmaker14 Jany. 1789.eng"Sheridan (left) speaks through a small aperture in the curtain which he holds open, addressing the musicians, some of whom are seen on the right, saying, with a conspiratorial scowl, "D-n em dont play God Save the King". Behind the musicians are the heads of some of the audience in the pit, shouting; a label extending across part of the print (right), inscribed 'Play God save the King', shows their words. In a box are a lady and two men. The print shows the arrangement of footlights, orchestra, pit, and a box on the first tier."--British Museum online catalogueTitle etched below image.Signed with the monogram of James Sayers.
