EDITORS COMMENTS
This print, sourced from Mary Evans Prints Online, showcases the renowned English actor David Garrick in the title role of Ben Jonson's classic play, The Alchemist. In this image, Garrick masterfully portrays Abel Drugger, a humorous and deceitful alchemist who promises to turn base metals into gold, but instead swindles his unsuspecting victims. The play, first performed in 1610, is a masterpiece of Elizabethan satire that explores themes of greed, deception, and human nature. Garrick, who is considered one of the greatest actors in English theatre history, brought a unique energy and depth to his performances. His portrayal of Abel Drugger was no exception. With his expressive facial features and impeccable comedic timing, Garrick captivated audiences and left a lasting impact on the world of theatre. Ben Jonson, a contemporary of William Shakespeare, was a celebrated poet, playwright, and actor in his own right. His works, including Volpone, The Devil is an Ass, and The Alchemist, continue to be performed and studied to this day. The Alchemist, in particular, is a timeless piece that explores the human tendency to believe in the impossible and the lengths people will go to in pursuit of wealth and power. This print is a testament to the enduring legacy of both Garrick and Jonson, and serves as a reminder of the power of theatre to entertain, enlighten, and inspire.
