EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving captures the essence of a Shakspearean show at the iconic Royal Albert Hall in London. The image, created by an English School artist in the 19th century, showcases a variety of literary characters brought to life on stage. The scene is filled with vibrant sketches depicting heroes and heroines from Shakespeare's plays. Among them are Beatrice from "Much Ado About Nothing" elegantly dressed as a shepherdess, and Queen Margaret of Henry VI fame, portrayed by Miss Violet Spencer Churchill. Mrs. Fancourt Barnes and Miss Patton Bethune also grace the stage as enchanting witches. The costumes worn by these talented performers add an extra layer of authenticity to their portrayals. From Elizabeth Woodville (Mrs. Wood) in regal attire to Perdita (Mrs. Wilson) adorned in garments fit for "A Winter's Tale" each character comes alive through their meticulously designed outfits. The engraving not only captures individual performances but also highlights the grandeur of the Royal Albert Hall itself during this theatrical event. It serves as a testament to William Shakespeare's enduring influence on literature and theater. This print provides us with a glimpse into historical reenactments that took place within this esteemed venue, where audiences were transported back in time to experience some of Shakespeare's most beloved works firsthand.
