Stipple, sheet 250 x 185mm (9¾ x 7¾"). Trimmed inside platemark.
Scene from Shakespeare's 'Romeo & Juliet' engraved by Francesco Bartolozzi (1725-1815) after Charles Shirreff (b.1750), British artist in India (Madras and Calcutta) 1796-1809. Bartolozzi (1725-1815) was born in Florence but migrated to England, and in 1768 was elected as a founding member of the Royal Academy in London (the RA did not admit engravers at this time but made an exception in his case). He was already hailed as the best engraver in Italy when he met George III's librarian Richard Dalton in 1763. Dalton invited Bartolozzi to London with a promise of an appointment as engraver to the king. In England he became the most celebrated exponent of the 'stipple' technique whereby he produced prints using dots rather than lines. In 1801 Bartolozzi was invited to Lisbon to reform the royal printing press, and he spent his final years in Portugal. This impression from the collection of Dr. Augusto Calabi of Milan, art historian who co-authored (with A.B. de Vesme) the authoritative catalogue raisonné of Bartolozzi's work. Inscription verso indicates this is the only impression of the print in this state seen by Calabi.

Mr Garrick in Hamlet. Act 1 Scene 4
B. Wilson Pinx.t J. McArdell Fecit
Publish'd by B. Wilson according to Act of Parliament Novem.r 1754.
Mezzotint, platemark 455 x 330mm (18 x 13"). Creases at top, small margins.
David Garrick (1717-1779), English actor and theatrical manage, in the role of Hamlet. The most celebrated actor of his day, he did more than anyone else to change the British acting style, which prioritised energy and engagement above accuracy and control. As a manager (primarily of the Drury Lane Theatre, Covent Garden) he presided over the creation of Shakespeare as national poet and icon, while shaping the texts to suit the demands of his patrons. The supremacy of Drury Lane during Garrick's management was not to be matched until Irving's reign at the Lyceum in the following century, and in the names of pubs and streets, and the famous Garrick Club, Covent Garden is filled with echoes of one of the greatest men to have occupied the area. This print illustrates the moment when Hamlet is confronted by the ghost of his dead father, the king of Denmark, who was murdered by his brother Claudius. Engraved after a portrait by Benjamin Wilson (1721 - 1788), portrait painter and scientist, etcher, occasional mezzotinter and collector of Rembrandt who was appointed Hogarth's successor as Serjeant-Painter to the King.
