EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a momentous event in literary history - the Shakespeare Jubilee of 1769, organized by the legendary English actor David Garrick. The image showcases a magnificent wooden pavilion erected along the picturesque River Avon, where jubilant celebrations are in full swing. The Shakespeare Jubilee was a grand tribute to the iconic playwright and dramatist William Shakespeare, held in his birthplace of Stratford-upon-Avon. As an ardent admirer of Shakespeare's works, Garrick spared no expense in organizing this extraordinary event that attracted theater enthusiasts from far and wide. In this aquatint from 1795, we witness the culmination of months of preparation as attendees revel amidst theatrical performances, music, dances, and recitations dedicated to Shakespeare's timeless plays. The atmosphere is electric with excitement and reverence for literature's greatest genius. David Garrick himself takes center stage as both organizer and performer during this historic celebration. His passion for theater shines through as he brings to life some of Shakespeare's most beloved characters on stage. This remarkable print not only immortalizes an important milestone in British theatre but also serves as a testament to the enduring legacy of William Shakespeare. It stands as a reminder that even centuries later, his words continue to captivate hearts and minds around the world.
