Charles Young in The Stranger, 1822: A Theatrical Portrait of an Early Nineteenth-Century Actor This handcolored stipple copperplate engraving, titled "Charles Young in The Stranger," showcases the enigmatic presence of the renowned English actor, Charles Young, as he appeared on the stage of the Theatre Royal Covent Garden in 1822. The image, created by the skilled hands of engraver Robert Cooper after a painting by Michael William Sharp, is a testament to the artistry and craftsmanship of the time. The portrait, part of the extensive collection of D. Terry's British Theatrical Gallery, London, published by Henry Berthoud Jr., captures Young in the title role of John Webster's tragic play, "The White Devil." In the production, Young's portrayal of the complex and morally ambiguous character, The Stranger, left audiences spellbound with his powerful performance. The intricately detailed engraving highlights Young's intense gaze and the theatricality of his costume, which includes a richly textured cloak and a menacing mask, adding to the overall dramatic effect. The image not only serves as a visual representation of Young's theatrical prowess but also provides a glimpse into the world of early nineteenth-century theater. Charles Young's career spanned over three decades, during which he graced the stages of some of the most prestigious theaters in London, including the Theatre Royal Drury Lane and the Covent Garden. His talent and versatility as an actor earned him critical acclaim and a devoted following. This exquisite handcolored stipple copperplate engraving is a valuable historical document that offers a unique insight into the life and career of a remarkable actor and the theatrical landscape of the early 19th century.
