EDITORS COMMENTS
This image captures the essence of English actor David Garrick in the role of Abel Drugger from Ben Jonson's classic play, "The Alchemist." Dated 1779, this print offers a glimpse into the past, showcasing Garrick's masterful performance as the cunning and deceptive alchemist. Garrick's portrayal of Abel Drugger is a testament to his exceptional acting skills, as he expertly balances the character's duplicitous nature with moments of genuine charm. In this print, Garrick is depicted with a knowing smile and a pipe clenched between his teeth, adding to the charisma of the character. The historical significance of this print is further emphasized by the details of Garrick's costume. He wears a tall, pointed hat, a common accessory for alchemists in the 17th and 18th centuries, and holds an armful of alchemical paraphernalia, including a mortar and pestle and a retort. Ben Jonson's "The Alchemist" is a satirical play that explores the themes of greed, deception, and the human desire for wealth and power. Garrick's portrayal of Abel Drugger became a defining moment in the history of English theatre, and this print offers a unique and intriguing glimpse into the world of 18th-century theatre and the art of acting. The print, from the Mary Evans Picture Library, is a valuable historical document that provides insight into the life and career of one of England's most celebrated actors. It is a testament to the enduring power of theatre and the ability of an actor to bring a character to life, captivating audiences for generations to come.
