EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the talented Miss Ellen Terry in her role as Portia, a character from William Shakespeare's renowned play, "The Merchant of Venice". The English photographer skillfully captures Terry's elegance and grace, emphasizing her portrayal of this powerful female character. Dressed in a regal gown with intricate details, Miss Ellen Terry embodies the essence of Portia, a strong-willed woman who disguises herself as a male lawyer to defend Antonio against Shylock's merciless demands. Her piercing gaze and confident posture exude intelligence and determination. The photogravure technique used by the 19th-century English photographer adds depth and texture to the image, enhancing its artistic quality. This particular print is part of a private collection but was originally created for an edition of Charles and Mary Cowden Clarke's "The Plays of William Shakespeare" published by Cassell around 1890. As we admire this digitally cleaned image today, we are reminded not only of Miss Ellen Terry's exceptional talent but also of Shakespeare's timeless characters that continue to captivate audiences worldwide. Through this engraving, we witness the convergence of artistry - both in photography and theater - creating an enduring tribute to one of literature's most iconic plays.
