EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative image captures the essence of the celebrated English actor, David Garrick, as he pens a letter in the year 1779. Garrick, renowned for his extraordinary interpretations of Shakespearean roles, is immortalized in this historical print by Mary Evans Picture Library. The significance of this print lies not only in the depiction of Garrick's artistic prowess but also in the unique detail enclosed within the scene. A lock of Garrick's own hair is tenderly held in his hand, ready to be incorporated into the portrait. This personal touch served as a common practice during the 18th century, allowing sitters to leave a piece of themselves within the artwork. Garrick's fame extended far beyond the stage, with his influence reaching the highest echelons of society. His innovative approaches to Shakespearean roles, such as his portrayal of Richard III in 1741 and Hamlet in 1749, revolutionized the way these iconic characters were perceived. The year 1717 marked Garrick's debut on the London stage, and his career continued to flourish for over six decades. This print serves as a poignant reminder of the rich history of communications and the enduring impact of the written word. As you gaze upon this image, one can almost hear the ink flow from Garrick's quill, bringing the words of Shakespeare to life on the page. The lock of his hair, a testament to the intimacy and authenticity of the portrait, adds a layer of depth and intrigue that continues to captivate viewers even today.
