EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving captures the essence of David Garrick, a prominent figure in 18th century British theatre. Known for his exceptional talent as an actor, playwright, and theatre manager, Garrick's influence on the dramatic arts cannot be overstated. In this portrait, he is depicted wearing a wig, cravat, jacket, and coat while holding a book. The oval frame surrounding his image is adorned with masks and festoons. Playful putti hold dramatic masks, a dagger, and a goblet to symbolize the theatrical world that Garrick inhabited. The original drawing from which this engraving was created belonged to Lord Mansfield. Published in London by John Bell in 1773 after being drawn by Sir Nathaniel Dance and engraved by J. Hall, this print showcases the artistry involved in capturing Garrick's likeness. Garrick's contributions to British theatre were immense; he revolutionized acting techniques and brought Shakespearean plays back into popularity during his time as manager of Drury Lane Theatre. His performances were renowned for their emotional depth and naturalistic style. This print serves as a reminder of the impact that David Garrick had on both stagecraft and popular culture during the 18th century. It stands as a testament to his enduring legacy as one of England's greatest actors and theater practitioners.
