EDITORS COMMENTS
In this engraving from 1818, we are transported back to the vibrant world of English pantomime with John Rich, the legendary actor and father of this beloved art form. Standing tall in his extravagant costume, Rich embodies the spirit of Harlequin as he dances under his stage name, Lun. With a mischievous glint in his eye and a carefree expression on his face, Rich exudes an infectious energy that captivates both the audience and our imagination. His graceful movements seem to defy gravity as he effortlessly leaps through the air, bringing joy and laughter to all who witness his performance. As one of the pioneers of pantomime in England during the 18th century, John Rich left an indelible mark on theatrical history. Through his innovative choreography and comedic timing, he revolutionized this genre by introducing new elements such as slapstick humor and acrobatics. This enchanting print serves as a testament to Rich's enduring legacy and reminds us of the power of entertainment to transport us into fantastical realms where anything is possible. It captures not only a moment in time but also encapsulates the essence of joyous folly that defines pantomime. The Granger Collection has masterfully preserved this piece of cultural heritage for us to admire today. Let it serve as a reminder that even amidst life's challenges, there is always room for laughter and merriment – just like John Rich dancing across the stage as Harlequin-Lun.
