EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time to Henley-Street in Stratford-upon-Avon, Warwickshire, England as it stood in 1864. This photograph celebrates the tercentenary of William Shakespeare's birth with a glimpse into his humble beginnings. The iconic half-timbered house where the Bard was born is proudly displayed to the left, while the top of Henley-Street stretches out before us, awaiting the construction of a monument in honor of its most famous son.
This historic image, published in "Illustrated London News" in 1864, offers a unique snapshot of Stratford-upon-Avon during Shakespeare's time. The charming Coach and Horses Inn stands tall on Henley-Street, surrounded by quaint buildings that seem to whisper tales of the past. As we gaze upon this timeless scene, we are reminded of the enduring legacy of William Shakespeare - a man who continues to captivate audiences with his words across centuries.
This photograph is not only a testament to Shakespeare's remarkable life but also a window into the world he knew and loved. It invites us to step into Henley-Street as it once was, surrounded by the sights, sounds, and stories that inspired one of literature's greatest minds.
