EDITORS COMMENTS
1. Title: "Ann Spranger Barry as Sir Harry Wildair in George Farquhar's 'The Constant Couple' (1734) Ann Spranger Barry (1685-1761), an English actress of the early 18th century, is depicted in this print as Sir Harry Wildair, her travesti role in George Farquhar's popular Restoration comedy, 'The Constant Couple' (1734). The term 'travesti' refers to the theatrical tradition of casting women in male roles, often for comic effect. The image, produced around 1801, captures Barry in a striking pose, with a confident and defiant expression. Sir Harry Wildair is a notorious rake and a master of disguise, who, in the play, attempts to seduce the virtuous Maria. However, his plans are foiled when she discovers his true identity. Barry's portrayal of Sir Harry Wildair was undoubtedly a crowd-pleaser, as evidenced by the popularity of this print. The elaborate costume, complete with a flowing wig, a sword at his side, and an ornate waistcoat, underscores the theatricality of the role. The background, adorned with intricate gold detailing, further emphasizes the opulence and grandeur of the Restoration theatre. This print offers a fascinating glimpse into the world of 18th-century theatre, where gender roles were fluid, and women frequently took on male roles for the entertainment of audiences. Ann Spranger Barry's portrayal of Sir Harry Wildair remains a testament to her talent and the enduring appeal of Restoration comedy. The Constant Couple, first performed in 1694, is a classic example of the genre, known for its witty dialogue, complex plot, and exploration of societal norms and expectations. The play's themes of love, deception, and identity continue to resonate with modern audiences, making this print a valuable historical artifact and a reminder of the rich theatrical heritage of the past.
