Not on view

Priscilla Horton (later Reed) was a singer and dancer who appeared on the London stage from the age of ten. In 1837 she joined the Covent Garden company managed by William Charles Macready and here appears as Morgana (Morgan Le Fay), the sorceress of Arthurian legend, perhaps in one of the "fairy burlesques" popular on the London stage in the late 1830s.
