1717 1779 Cooper Feather Garrick Macbeth Quill Roles Shakespearean
EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative image captures the essence of David Garrick, the renowned English actor who revolutionized Shakespearean performance in the 18th century. Garrick, born in 1717, is depicted here in a moment of deep concentration as he reads from a script, his quill pen poised above a page filled with the intricate handwriting of the era. The feather pen, a symbol of the literary and theatrical world, underscores Garrick's dedication to his craft. The historical setting of the print, with its ornate frame and aged parchment, transports us back to the era of Garrick's fame. The year is 1779, and the image suggests the rehearsal room or study of a man who had made a significant impact on the world of English theatre. Garrick's portrayal of Macbeth, one of Shakespeare's most iconic characters, brought new depth and nuance to the role, earning him widespread acclaim. Coincidentally, another notable figure of the time, John Cooper, was also a significant presence in the world of English theatre. Cooper, born in 1722, was a successful actor-manager who collaborated with Garrick on several productions. Although not depicted in the image, Cooper's influence on the theatrical landscape of the time is evident in the context of Garrick's performance. This print, from the esteemed Mary Evans Picture Library, offers a glimpse into the world of 18th-century theatre and the men who shaped it. The image serves as a testament to the enduring legacy of Garrick and his contributions to the performance of Shakespeare's works, which continue to captivate audiences to this day.
