EDITORS COMMENTS
This print transports us back to the vibrant world of 18th-century theatre. The subject of the image is Mr William Smith, an esteemed English actor and theatre manager, who is depicted in his role as Phocyas in John Hughes' renowned play, "The Siege of Damascus". Smith's commanding presence leaps off the page as he embodies the character with great intensity and dramatic flair. His expressive eyes convey a depth of emotion while his posture exudes strength and determination. Clad in an exquisite period costume, every detail meticulously captured by James Roberts' skilled illustration, Smith truly becomes Phocyas. The Covent Garden Theatre serves as the backdrop for this scene, its grandeur enhancing the theatrical atmosphere. The stage comes alive with tragedy and passion as Smith brings forth his remarkable performance.
