EDITORS COMMENTS
This charming copperplate engraving captures the comical figures of Cimon and Mopsus alongside the lovely Phillida from Colley Cibber's comic opera "Damon and Phillida" in 1729.

The exaggerated expressions on the faces of Cimon, Mopsus, and Phillida add a sense of playfulness to the scene, making it a delightful portrayal of human passions and emotions. Thomas Sanders' skillful engraving beautifully captures every detail, from the intricate costumes to the lively interactions between the characters.
