The Worcester Excursion Car Company (USA) - WECC private coach Nr. 116 "David Garrick"
David Garrick (19 February 1717 – 20 January 1779) was an English actor, playwright, theatre manager and producer who influenced nearly all aspects of theatrical practice throughout the 18th century. He appeared in a number of amateur theatricals, and with his appearance in the title role of Shakespeare's Richard III, audiences and managers began to take notice. The depicted private excursion coach was named after him, in connection with the 1887/8 tour of the American performer and actor, Edwin Booth.
Booth was a 19th-century American actor who toured throughout America and the major capitals of Europe, performing Shakespearean plays. In 1869, he founded Booth's Theatre in New York. His professional achievements are often overshadowed by his relationship with his brother, John Wilkes Booth, the man who assassinated President Abraham Lincoln.
