EDITORS COMMENTS
This vibrant and whimsical colored etching, titled "Bucks have at ye all", captures the essence of the eccentric actor Robert 'Romeo' Coates in his role as Lothario in 'The Fair Penitent' at the Haymarket Theatre in 1811. The image exudes a sense of extempore additions and ad lib performance, reflecting Coates' amateur yet captivating portrayal on stage.
The English School artist behind this portrait skillfully brings out Coates' theatrical flair and larger-than-life persona through intricate details and bold colors. The exaggerated features and dramatic pose of the subject add to the overall caricature-like quality of the print, making it a striking piece that draws viewers into the world of 19th-century theatre.
As we gaze upon this historical artwork from William Holland's publication, we are transported back to a time when entertainment was raw, unfiltered, and full of surprises. It serves as a reminder of the creativity and passion that fueled performances during that era, with actors like Coates pushing boundaries and embracing their unique style.
In conclusion, "Bucks have at ye all" is not just a mere portrait but a window into a bygone age filled with charm, wit, and unbridled enthusiasm for the art of theatre.
