EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures Mr Anthony Webster in the character of Douglas, from John Home's renowned play "Douglas" performed at Covent Garden Theatre in 1776. The image, created by J. Thornthwaite, is a copperplate engraving based on an illustration drawn from life by James Roberts. Webster's portrayal of Douglas exudes a sense of intensity and emotion, as he stands tall and proud in his Scottish attire. Clad in a traditional kilt with tartan patterns, he embodies the spirit of the Scottish highlands. His costume adds authenticity to his theatrical role and transports viewers back to the vibrant world of 18th-century theatre. However, this image holds more than just artistic significance. It also sheds light on scandalous events surrounding Webster's personal life. In 1776, he eloped with Elizabeth Battishill, an actress who was already married at the time. This scandalous affair ultimately led to Webster's untimely death in 1780. The print serves as a testament to both Webster's talent as an actor and his tumultuous personal life. It encapsulates the drama and tragedy that unfolded both on stage and behind closed doors during this era of British theatre history. This remarkable piece from Bridgeman Images allows us to glimpse into the world of 18th-century theatre while offering insights into one actor's complex journey through fame and infamy.
