EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph captures a scene from Shakespeare's iconic play, King Richard III. The image depicts a messenger, dressed in an elaborate historical costume, delivering important news to the characters on stage. Created by an English School artist in the 19th century, this print showcases the attention to detail and authenticity that was crucial in Shakespearian productions of the time. The messenger's attire is meticulously rendered, showcasing the intricate design elements of historical dress. This lithograph was part of a compilation of authentic sources for Shakespearian costumes, drawn by Robert L Boocke and published by Samuel Miller around 1892. It offers us a glimpse into the world of theatre during this period and highlights how costumes played a vital role in bringing these timeless plays to life. The theatrical ambiance is palpable as we imagine this scene unfolding on stage. The actors' performances would have been enhanced by their striking outfits and immersive set design. King Richard III remains one of Shakespeare's most enduring works, exploring themes of power, manipulation, and betrayal. This print serves as both a testament to Shakespeare's lasting influence on literature and theater while also offering insight into the artistic process behind staging his plays during the late 19th century.
