Summary

The Garrick Club's collection of British theatrical works of art, consisting of over one thousand paintings, drawings and pieces of sculpture, is vital to the study of British theatre history. The particular strength and glory of the collection is the mid-to-late Georgian period, from 1760-1830, the "golden age" of theatrical portraiture.
