1761ref. 7777London: Published by R. H. Laurie; 53 Fleet Street and Bowles & Carver 1761. Mezzotint. New state ii/ii with the publication line altered. Inscription reads as follows: " J. Reynolds pinx.Cha Corbutt fecit./ Strive not TRAGEDY nor COMEDY to Engross a GARRICK who to your NOBLEST CHARACTER does EQUAL HONOUR./ Reddere Personae scit convenientia cuique./ Published by R.H.LAURIE; 53 Fleet Street and BOWLES & CARVER St. Pauls Church Yard London Price 6s.". In good condition apart from a small section of paper loss in the upper margin not extending into the image and two small skillfully mended tears on the bottom margin. Images size: 13 1/8 x 16 inches. One of the most famous portraits of the actor David Garrick by Sir Joshua Reynolds. David Garrick 1717-1779 was perhaps the most influential actor in the English theater. He successfully took on all aspects of theatrical production including actor manager playwright publicist and theatre advocate. He displayed an amazing range by convincingly playing parts in every genre from comedy to tragedy history to farce. From 1747 until his retirement in 1776 he was the manager of Drury Lane where he initiated many improvements: he introduced concealed stage lighting removed spectators from the stage and cultivated a naturalistic style of acting. Garrick was acutely conscious of the value of pictures as advertisements. He sat for every painter of note many of whom are now little more than names. He was painted in oils and in watercolours drawn in pencil and in pastels modelled in wax and in terracotta; his likeness even appeared on medals Wedgewood china and playing-cards. This portrait by his friend Reynolds demonstrates in a mildly humorous way the actor's talents and character; posed between Tragedy and Comedy Garrick is depicted the master of both. Garrick's broad smile and Tragedy's melodramatic stance note the dagger at her waist favor Comedy. Reynolds' painting was a huge public success and inspired many prints and paintings pirated prints of the image even made their way to the streets of Paris. The popularity of this image is a testimony to Garrick's fame and to Reynolds' talent.

ref. 63221Blackwell 2001 Oxford. XIII761p. Large paperback. Upper corner pp.35-74 slightly bumped. Still a nice copy. 'The Corrupting Sea' is a book that all classicists should read. . A real strenght of the book for the historian of antiquity is the breaking of the academic division of antiquity from the medieval period. Horden and Purcell stress the similarities between micro-regions across space and time yet manage to emphasize the differences between a micro-region and its neighbours. This seemingly paradoxical position is in fact an analytical strenght since by placing the emphasis in this way . H. & P. have managed to create a dynamic viewpoint of the Mediterranean past that encapsulates the whole whilst defining the rôle of the micro-region. . The book demonstrates how far ancient history has moved on from the Finley orthodoxy I was taught as an undergraduate and at the same time exposes the general weakness of historical method within the study of the history of the Mediterranean. The emphasis on the fluidity of place and the connectivity across space is most welcome and opens up queations on the anture of change during antiquity in terms of mobility and the identity of places. . The book . certainly will provoke further thoughts and ideas to be pursued by the reader.' RAY LAURENCE in The Classical Review New Series 2001 pp.99-102. From the library of Prof. Dr. H.F.J. Horstmanshoff. paperback
