EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph, titled "Petruchio, 1891" transports us back to the vibrant world of Victorian theatre. The print showcases a vivid portrayal of Petruchio, a character from William Shakespeare's renowned play, The Taming of the Shrew. Created by Charles Robert Leslie and published by Raphael Tuck & Sons in London during the late 19th century, this artwork captures the essence of drama and heroism. In this striking portrait, we see a distinguished male actor embodying the role of Petruchio with remarkable intensity. His commanding presence and colorful attire reflect both his theatrical prowess and the spirit of Victorian entertainment. As our eyes are drawn to every intricate detail on his costume, we can almost hear him reciting Shakespearean verses on stage. The lithograph not only pays homage to one of Shakespeare's most iconic characters but also serves as a testament to Charles Robert Leslie's artistic talent. With each brushstroke or pen stroke carefully executed, he brings life to Petruchio's persona while staying true to Shakespeare's vision. As we admire this exquisite piece from "Shakespeare’s Heroes and Heroines" it reminds us that theatre has always been an enchanting medium for storytelling throughout history. This print is not just an image frozen in time; it represents the enduring power of artistry and its ability to transport us into different worlds – be it Elizabethan England or Victorian society – where heroes like Petruchio come alive through talented actors like those captured in this lith
