EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Mr William Smith in the character of Archer, from George Farquhar's renowned play "The Beaux Stratagem" performed at Covent Garden Theatre in 1756. The image, a copperplate engraving by James Roberts, captures the essence of Smith's portrayal with remarkable detail. Smith, an English actor and theatre manager born in 1730, brings Archer to life on stage with his exceptional talent. His expressive face and commanding presence draw us into the world of this beloved character. Dressed in a period costume that reflects the fashion of the time, Smith embodies Archer's charm and wit. "The Beaux Stratagem" is a delightful comedy that takes place during the 18th century. It tells the story of two young men who travel through rural England seeking wealthy women to marry for their fortunes. As Archer, Smith skillfully navigates through hilarious situations while maintaining his charismatic demeanor. This print is part of Bell's British Theatre collection published by John Bell in London in 1776. It serves as a testament to both Smith's acting prowess and Roberts' artistic talent as an illustrator. As we gaze upon this historic image, we are transported back to a time when theatre was at its peak popularity. We can almost hear the laughter and applause echoing through Covent Garden Theatre as Mr William Smith captivates audiences with his unforgettable performance as Archer.
