About this artwork
In this 1794 engraving you see James William Dodd, dressed as his character Campley from the play *The Funeral*. He stands in profile, head tilted slightly forward, wearing a tall hat with feathered brim and holding a small fan or feathered fan in his right hand. The print shows subtle shading that gives depth to the costume, while the background remains plain. It was made by Richard Bernard Godfrey for publisher John Bell from an original painting by James Roberts.
