The Power of
Love. Copper engraving [1737] , probably taken from the
first issue of The Musical Entertainer, published in fortnightly parts,
from January 1737 to December 1739. This plate probably was engraved by "J. Champion
Script. 1737" and later reprinted from the same plate in George Bickham, The
Musical Entertainer, Vol, I, London 1740, p. 76.
The engraving
shows a musical party with a woman playing the baroque guitar. Below the picture is a song, "The
Power of Love" / Set by a Gentleman of Oxford", with keyboard and flute accompaniment.
