    The painting was discovered in the attic of a house in Buffalo, New York in the 1930s. The painting depicts a scene from "The Hunchback" written by Sheridan Knowles in 1832. In the painting, the actress Julia Marlowe (1866-1950) is portraying the character of Julia, a very dramatic soul who has spent her life growing up in the country. She has come to town to experience all its riches. In Act III, Scene II, the scene takes place in Master Heartwell's apartment. Julia has been weeping over the prospect of marrying Sir Thomas Clifford, for fear of being shipped off abroad. The character of Helen, played by actress Mary Shaw (1854-1929) enters the room, with news that Sir Thomas Clifford has lost his title, and all his wealth. Helen offers to be Julia's messenger, to deliver a response to his loss. The painting may have been done in Kansas City, Missouri, and was used on the road for display at theaters.
