Note: The subjects of this work, Edward Shuter, John Beard, and John Dunstall, were all accomplished and established stage presences in their own right. Shuter won renown for his talent with comedic roles and his portrayal of old men characters, Beard was a celebrated tenor who was given the title "Vocal Performer in Extraordinary" and an annual salary of £100 by King George III, and Dunstall was similarly known for his comedic roles, portraying the corpulent Father Dominick in Dryden’s "The Spanish Friar" and Dromio of Syracuse in Shakespeare’s "The Comedy of Errors."
