The celebrated performer on the rope at Vauxhall. Original engraving by John Alais, after the painting by P. Hutchisson, published 1820. Framed

Madame Saqui, born Marguerite-Antoinette Lalanne was a noted tightrope walker and rope dancer. George Rogers Barratt and Jonathan Tyers Barrett, the proprietors of Vauxhall Pleasure Gardens, subsequently engaged her there for four years, where on an inclined tightrope stretched from a mast, she descended at a run to one of the main walkways, in a storm of exploding fireworks.
