EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the legendary actress Miss Langtry in her iconic role as Cleopatra. The English photographer of the 19th century beautifully captures the essence of this historical figure, bringing her to life through his lens. Miss Langtry's portrayal of Cleopatra is nothing short of mesmerizing. Her regal presence and commanding gaze exude power and allure, perfectly embodying Shakespeare's complex character. The photogravure technique used in this print adds a touch of elegance, enhancing every intricate detail with its rich tones and textures. The image comes from a private collection but was originally featured in "The Plays of William Shakespeare" edited by Charles and Mary Cowden Clarke. This edition, published around 1890, aimed to bring Shakespeare's works to life through vivid illustrations like this one. As we admire Miss Langtry's enchanting performance as Cleopatra, we can't help but be transported back in time to witness the grandeur of ancient Egypt. This engraving serves as a testament to both the timeless beauty of William Shakespeare's plays and the immense talent possessed by actors such as Miss Langtry. Thanks to Bridgeman Images' digital cleaning process, this print has been restored for our viewing pleasure today. It stands as a remarkable piece that not only celebrates artistry but also pays homage to an era when theater reigned supreme.
