This print shows a theatre in Ipswich where the famous actor David Garrick first performed. The work is a print, not a painting. It dates from 1821, long after Garrick’s 1741 debut. The print was published in London by Robert Wilkinson. It includes text about the old theatre’s history. This adds context we don’t always find in art. Check out the Victoria and Albert Museum for more prints from this era.
