Scene from "Prince Dorus; or, The Romance of the Nose", [Olympic Theatre, London], 1850. 'Mr. Tom Taylor takes the subject of Madame D'Arblay's "Prince Doras" for his Christmas piece - the pet of the good and the prey of wicked fairies. The latter curse the child in its cradle with a big nose...the Prince, who, in stooping to kiss the sleeping beauty, finds his nose too long. On this discovery depended the spell. It is made, and the nose sinks from a non-natural to a natural organ of sense. No longer blind to his own defects, on their removal nothing thenceforth stands in the way of his cherished object...with a splendid tableau, the scenes being all in the style of Watteau'. From "Illustrated London News", 1850.
