A Scene from Act V of Love's Labor's Lost, possibly at Drury Lane Theatre, circa 1744.

This print of the Princess and her ladies with Boyet (V.ii.80 in modern editions?) gives some sense of how the play was imagined in the eighteenth century in dress of that period. Note the evocation of a rural setting, almost identical to that in the previous image, of a staging two centuries later. The original was by Francis Hayman (1708 – 1776), who worked at the Drury Lane Theatre, and printed by Hubert Gravelot, with 31 pictures added by Hayman to the 1744 edition of Shakespeare's plays by Thomas Hanmer.
