Mezzoint 278 x 385mm, 11 x 15¼inches. Large margins, faint stain from old mount, slight band of rubbing in centre.
David Garrick (1717-1779), English actor and theatrical manager, was descended from a good French Protestant family named Garric or Garrique of Bordeaux, which had settled in England on the revocation of the Edict of Nantes. His passion for the stage completely engrossed him; he tried his hand both at dramatic criticism and at dramatic authorship. His first appearance on the stage was made in March 1741, incognito, as Harlequin at Goodman's Fields. In person, Garrick was a little below middle height; in his later years he seems to have inclined to stoutness. The extraordinary mobility of his whole person, and his power of as it were transforming himself at will, are attested to by many anecdotes and descriptions, but the piercing power of his eye is said to have been his most irresistable feature.

[Sold by Edw.d Fisher, at the Golden Head the South Side of Leicester Square, John Boydell Engraver, at the Unicorn, in Cheapside, and E. Bakewell, & H. Parker, _PrintSellers in Cornhill, opposite Birchin Lane, London.]
Mezzotint, without the title printed from a separate plate, 18th century watermark. 410 x 505mm (16 x 20"). Tear entering plate at top, two tears and rubbing in margin.
A portrait of actor David Garrick (1717-1779), showing him torn between the female figures of Comedy and Tragedy. Although he looks at Tragedy he is allowing Comedy to pull him away. The scene is a parody of the Choice of Hercules, in which the hero was asked to choose between Pleasure and Virtue, choosing the more difficult but more honourable path of Virtue. Walpole notes that the idea for the painting was Garrick's. The picture was one of Garrick's favourites: in 1764 he wrote from Paris, ''I am so plagu'd here for my prints or rather prints of me - that I must desire you to send me by the first opportunity six prints from Reynolds' picture, you may apply to the engraver he lives in Leicester Fields, and his name is Fisher, he will give you good ones, if he knows they are for me''. A separate plate was used to print the title, with a Latin title (''Reddere Personæ scit convenientia cuique'').

David Garrick (1717-1779) caught between the Muses of Tragedy (Melpomene) and Comedy (Thalia). The original painting (now in Waddesdon Manor, owned by the National Trust and managed by the Rothschild Foundation) was completed in 1761 and first engraved by Edward Fisher in mezzotint the following year. This version, engraved by Richard Purcell under his pseudonym of Charles Corbutt, was one of at least fourteen mezzotint copies and pirates. Purcell was a native of Dublin and learned engraving from Brooks and Miller. He followed in the footsteps of McArdell and went to London, where he worked with Sayer copying the works of McArdell, Watson and others.
