Title

Mr. Brunton as Ladi

Description

The play from which the character of Ladi is from is unknown, and the identity of Mr. Brunton himself is uncertain. He could possibly be the actor and theatre manager John Brunton. However this Mr. Brunton died in 1822, during the heyday of Juvenile Drama print collecting, but after the bulk of his acting career. [1]
