EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the historical significance of Garrick's Cup, a remarkable artifact from the 18th century. Carved from Shakespeare's very own mulberry tree, this unique cup belonged to the renowned actor David Garrick. The image is taken from Charles John Smith's book, "Historical and Literary Curiosities" published in London in 1840. The monochrome illustration transports us back in time, capturing the essence of both the 18th and 19th centuries. It serves as a testament to the enduring legacy of William Shakespeare and his connection to one of history's greatest actors. Garrick's Cup symbolizes a tangible link between two iconic figures: David Garrick and William Shakespeare. This extraordinary piece was crafted with great care using wood from a tree once owned by Shakespeare himself. Its intricate design reflects the craftsmanship prevalent during that era. As we gaze upon this print, we are reminded of the profound impact these individuals had on literature and theater. Their contributions continue to inspire generations even today. The print collector responsible for preserving this image has done an exceptional job capturing its beauty and historical importance. Through their lens, they have allowed us to appreciate not only Garrick's Cup but also its rich cultural context within British history.
