This engraving depicts Mr G V Brooke as the Duke of Gloster in Act I, Scene I of Shakespeare's Richard the Third. The image showcases the artistry and attention to detail that went into creating historical costumes during the 19th century. Brooke, an Irish actor known for his powerful performances, embodies the character with intensity and charisma. His regal attire, complete with a feathered hat and sword at his side, adds to the grandeur of his portrayal. The scene captures a pivotal moment in the play where Richard reveals his true intentions and sets in motion a series of events that will shape England's history. The theatrical backdrop hints at a medieval castle, transporting viewers back to Elizabethan times when Shakespeare first penned this timeless tragedy. Engraved by T Sherratt from a daguerreotype by Fitzgibbon of St Louis, US. , this print is part of The Complete Works of Shakespeare collection published in London around 1880.
