EDITORS COMMENTS
This print depicts the renowned English actor, David Garrick, and his leading lady, Mary Ann Yates, in the characters of Lusignan and Zara from Aaron Hill's tragedy "Zara," performed at the Drury Lane Theatre in 1758. The image is a hand-colored copperplate engraving, created by W. Walker based on an illustration by James Roberts for Bell's British Theatre. Garrick, dressed as Lusignan, the King of Granada, holds a bouquet of exotic flowers, including a Camellia, Monfortiana, and Japonica, symbolizing love and devotion. Mary Ann Yates, as Zara, the beautiful and enigmatic princess, gazes at him with a mixture of longing and hesitation. The intricate details of their costumes, the rich colors, and the delicate botanical illustrations all contribute to the allure of this theatrical moment. The print's botanical elements reflect the growing interest in exotic plants and flowers during the 18th century, as well as the influence of the French "Iconographie du Genre Humain" by Abbe Laurent Oudet and Johann Jakob Bodmer. The print also showcases the variety and sophistication of theatrical productions during this period, as well as the artistry of the engravers and illustrators involved. This print offers a glimpse into the world of 18th-century theater, where actors like Garrick and Yates brought characters to life on stage, captivating audiences with their performances and transporting them to far-off lands and exotic worlds.
