EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph, titled "How the Old Actors dressed 'Shakspere'" takes us back to the 19th century and offers a glimpse into the world of English theater. The image showcases a group of esteemed actors, each adorned in elaborate costumes, portraying iconic characters from William Shakespeare's plays. In this enchanting scene, we see Mrs. Siddons as Lady Macbeth, exuding power and intensity with her commanding presence. Thomas King embodies the tragic hero Hamlet, his expression reflecting the inner turmoil of this complex character. Miss Brunton captivates as Juliet, radiating youthful innocence and passion alongside John Kemble's dashing Romeo. The attention to detail in their attire is remarkable; every garment seems meticulously crafted to transport audiences to another time and place. From Mrs. Barry's elegant Rosalind to Holman's mischievous Touchstone, these old actors bring Shakespeare's timeless characters vividly to life. As we gaze upon this lithograph from our private collection, we are reminded of the enduring legacy of William Shakespeare and his profound influence on theatrical arts. This illustration originally appeared in The Illustrated London News in April 1893 when it was first published for all to admire. Through this print by Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder collection, we are transported back in time to witness not only how these old actors dressed but also how they breathed life into some of literature's most beloved characters on stage.
