EDITORS COMMENTS
This print depicts Edward Moore (1712-1757), an influential English playwright of the mid-18th century. Moore's career spanned over two decades, during which he made significant contributions to the London stage. Born in London, Moore began his literary career as a contributor to various periodicals before turning his attention to playwriting. His first play, "The Gamester," was produced in 1731 and was an instant success. The play, a tragicomedy, showcased Moore's skill in crafting engaging characters and intricate plots. Moore's subsequent plays, such as "The Mock Doctor" (1733), "The Orphan" (1736), and "The Fine Gentleman" (1739), continued to captivate audiences with their wit, drama, and social commentary. He also collaborated with other playwrights, including Colley Cibber and David Garrick, on several productions. This print, created in 1787, captures Moore in the prime of his career. The image portrays him as a distinguished gentleman, dressed in the fashionable attire of the time, with an air of confidence and creativity. The background features a bookshelf filled with volumes, symbolizing his literary prowess. Moore's legacy as a playwright continued long after his death, with many of his works being revived and adapted for the stage and screen. His influence on the English theatre is still felt today, making this print a valuable historical document and a testament to Moore's enduring impact on the world of literature.
