After two years' tuition she was engaged  in the chorus at Covent Garden and distinguished herself in the spring of 1816 by singing Miss  Stephens' role of Lucy Mannering in the opera <i>Guy Mannering</i>, when Miss Stephens was ill, at four hours' notice.  She played Sylvia in <i>Cymon</i> there the same year, was engaged by the  Haymarket that summer and returned to Covent Garden for the winter season. A review of her performance  as Clara in Sheridan's opera <i>The Duenna</i> in <i>The Theatrical Inquisitor or The Monthly Mirror</i>, July 1818, described her voice as: 'a clear, powerful and sweet soprano, of considerable compass' and that her principle roles were established as Rosina Lodina, Clarissa, and Leonora.\n\nThis portrait appeared in the March 1817 edition of <i>La Belle Assemblée, or Bell's Court and Fashionable Magazine, </i>first published in 1806 by the successful London printer John Bell (1745- 1831), who owned several other magazines. <i>La Belle Assemblée</i> was primarily a women's magazine with fashion plates, celebrity profiles, sheet music, poetry, fiction, news items and  some scientific articles. Its first fashion plates from February 1806 were not coloured, but from  November 1806 it came out in two forms, uncoloured at 2s 6d or hand-coloured at 3s 6d, illustrating outfits worn by ladies of rank as well as the latest styles. It was printed monthly  for people to compile into volumes, and rather confusingly its illustrations were dated a month ahead. This portrait of Miss Carew was dated 1st April 1817.","physicalDescription":"Head and torso portrait of Miss Carew.","artistMakerPerson":[{"name":{"text":"Hayter, George (Sir)","id":"A10606"},"association":{"text":"artist","id":"AAT25103"},"note":"after"},{"name":{"text":"Bell, John","id":"A8138"},"association":{"text":"publisher","id":"x32600"},"note":""}],"artistMakerOrganisations":[],"artistMakerPeople":[],"materials":[{"text":"paper","id":"x30308"},{"text":"ink","id":"AAT15012"}],"techniques":[{"text":"print-making","id":"AAT131119"},{"text":"stipple engraving","id":"AAT53239"}],"materialsAndTechniques":"stipple cut within the plate","categories":[{"text":"Entertainment & Leisure","id":"THES48959"},{"text":"Prints","id":"THES48903"},{"text":"Opera","id":"THES263971"}],"styles":[],"collectionCode":{"text":"T&P","id":"THES48602"},"images":["2010EF8200"],"imageResolution":"high","galleryLocations":[{"current":{"text":"001","id":"THES356581"},"free":"","case":"","shelf":"","box":""}],"partTypes":[[{"text":"prints","id":"AAT41273"}],[{"text":"stipple engraving","id":"AAT53239"}]],"contentWarnings":[{"apprise":"","note":""}],"placesOfOrigin":[{"place":{"text":"Great Britain","id":"x32019"},"association":{"text":"printed","id":"x46159"},"note":""}],"productionDates":[{"date":{"text":"1 April 1817","earliest":"1817-04-01","latest":"1817-04-01"},"association":{"text":"published","id":"x30682"},"note":""}],"associatedObjects":[{"object":{"text":"S.929-2014","id":"O1292964"},"association":"Object"},{"object":{"text":"S.285-2014","id":"O1285027"},"association":"Object"},{"object":{"text":"S.1084-2012","id":"O1255127"},"association":"Object"},{"object":{"text":"S.247-2015","id":"O1312060"},"association":"Object"}],"creditLine":"","dimensions":[{"dimension":"Height","value":"21.9","unit":"cm","qualifier":"","date":{"text":"","earliest":null,"latest":null},"part":"Print size","note":""},{"dimension":"Width","value":"13.5","unit":"cm","qualifier":"","date":{"text":"","earliest":null,"latest":null},"part":"Print size","note":""},{"dimension":"Height","value":"34.1","unit":"cm","qualifier":"","date":{"text":"","earliest":null,"latest":null},"part":"Total including mount","note":""},{"dimension":"Width","value":"27.2","unit":"cm","qualifier":"","date":{"text":"","earliest":null,"latest":null},"part":"Total including mount","note":""}],"dimensionsNote":"","marksAndInscriptions":[],"objectHistory":"","historicalContext":"","briefDescription":"Portrait of the singer Miss Margaret Felicité Anne Carew (b.1799) from an original painting by George Hayter (1792-1871) published by John Bell as the preface to the March 1817 edition of John Bell's <i>La Belle Assemblée, or Bell's Court and Fashionable Magazine</i>.
