EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving captures the fictional characters Isabella and Lucio from William Shakespeare's play "Measure for Measure". Miss Glyn and Mr Hoskins brilliantly bring these characters to life, showcasing their talent and artistry in this 19th-century print. Dressed in elaborate costumes that reflect the fashion of the 16th century, Miss Glyn portrays Isabella, a noblewoman turned nun. Her habit is adorned with intricate details, emphasizing her commitment to religious life. Holding a crucifix close to her heart, she embodies both piety and strength. Standing beside her is Mr Hoskins as Lucio, a witty and mischievous character known for his comedic timing. His flamboyant attire adds an element of humor to the scene, contrasting with Isabella's more modest appearance. The engraving beautifully captures Act I, Scene iv of the play where Isabella encounters Lucio. The detailed illustration transports us back to Elizabethan England, immersing us in the world of Shakespearean drama. This print serves as a testament to the enduring legacy of Shakespeare's works and showcases how theater brings stories to life through performance. It reminds us of the power of art in capturing moments from literature that continue to resonate with audiences across centuries.
