EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Edward Fitzwilliam in the role of Looney Macwolter in a production of The Review at the Theatre Royal Drury Lane, as depicted in an 1822 handcolored stipple copperplate engraving by Robert Cooper. The engraving is based on a painting by Frederic de Waldeck and is part of the extensive British Theatrical Gallery collection, published by D. Terry in London in 1825. Edward Fitzwilliam (1786-1837) was a prominent English actor of the early 19th century, known for his versatility and ability to captivate audiences with his powerful performances. In this image, he is depicted in the character of Looney Macwolter, a role that likely brought him great acclaim during his time on the stage. The Review was a popular play written by Thomas Dibdin and first performed at Drury Lane in 1820. The intricately detailed handcoloring of this print adds depth and vibrancy to the image, bringing the stage to life and transporting us back in time to the world of 19th-century theater. The use of stipple engraving, a technique that involves the application of small dots of ink to create shading and texture, further enhances the print's visual appeal and captures the essence of the theatrical experience. This print is a valuable historical artifact, offering a glimpse into the world of 19th-century theater and the career of a talented actor like Edward Fitzwilliam. It is a testament to the enduring power of live performance and the impact it can have on audiences, even centuries after the fact.
