1732 Covent Depicts Entry Harlequin Opening Rich Triumphal
EDITORS COMMENTS
This print, dated 1732, offers a glimpse into the grand opening of Covent Garden Theatre, a historic landmark in the heart of London, England. The theatre was built for the renowned pantomimist and harlequin, John Rich, who stands proudly at the center of the image, making his triumphal entry into the newly constructed edifice. Rich, a leading figure in British theatre during the early 18th century, is depicted in his full regalia, surrounded by admiring onlookers, musicians, and elaborate decorations. The theatre itself, with its impressive columns, intricate facade, and ornate details, stands as a testament to the opulence and grandeur of the time. The print not only captures the excitement and anticipation of the opening night but also highlights the significant role of John Rich in the world of British theatre. Covent Garden Theatre, which continues to be an iconic venue for performing arts, has a rich history that began with this grand occasion in 1732.
