EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving captures the remarkable talent of Anthony Madox, the surprising English posture master. In this 18th-century artwork, we witness Madox's exceptional dexterity and artistry as he performs on stage at the New Theatre in Coven Garden. His mastery of posture surpasses even that of the Great Turk and all other foreigners in this unique form of entertainment. The image showcases Madox's extraordinary abilities, which left audiences astounded during his performance before His Majesty. With grace and precision, he demonstrates a range of postures that defy gravity and challenge the limits of human flexibility. The orchestra plays in harmony with his movements, enhancing the overall spectacle. Madox's reputation as an unparalleled performer spread far beyond England's borders. The New Universal Magazine featured him prominently in their publication from 1753, solidifying his status as a celebrated figure not only within Britain but across Europe. This print offers us a glimpse into a bygone era when stage performances were highly anticipated events filled with wonderment and awe. It serves as a testament to Madox's skillful execution and enduring legacy within the world of entertainment. Bridgeman Images has preserved this historical gem for us to appreciate today, reminding us of Anthony Madox's incredible talent and contribution to performing arts history.
