Plates to The Oxford magazine, v. 3.
"As part of the extensive advance publicity, these plates were engraved prior to the Jubilee and published just afterwards, in the September and October 1769 issues of Oxford Magazine. The engravings depict the procession of Shakespearean characters planned for the late morning of the second day. But the assembled actors, dressed in elaborate (and expensive) costumes mostly borrowed from Drury Lane, waited for hours for the clouds to clear. When they did not, the planned parade was first postponed a day, then cancelled." -- Folger exhibition label, 2005.
