Comments:
fterpiece considered absolutely beautiful' by Christlob Mylius, German visitor, who was impressed by the skill and rapidity of scene shifting, and by evidence of English freedom which tolerated a scene representing the Equestrian statue of George I with Harlequin mounted instead of the King. See J. A. Kelly, German Visitors, p. 26.
