The Shakspeare Commemoration at Stratford-On-Avon: scene from "The Comedy of Errors"...1864. Creator: Unknown
The Shakspeare Commemoration at Stratford-On-Avon: scene from "The Comedy of Errors", as performed in the Festival Pavilion, 1864. Celebrating the tercentenary of William Shakespeare's birth. Play performed by the company of the Princess's Theatre. 'It is the scene in which Antipholus of Syracuse, being mistaken for his brother of Ephesus by the wife of the latter, is accosted, very much to his astonishment, with conjugal entreaties and reproaches, by Adriana, whom he never saw before in his life. She has been scolding him for his neglect, and she now insists upon taking his arm and leading him home to dinner; while Dromio, no less astonished than his master, cries out that they have got into fairyland, and are transformed, in mind and shape, by some fallacious arts of magic. This Dromio (of Syracuse) is Mr. Charles Webb, whom nobody can distinguish from his brother Henry, the Dromio of Ephesus; Mr. George Vining is the Antipholus of Syracuse, and the Adriana is Miss Caroline Carson. "The Comedy of Errors," as performed at the Princess's and at the Stratford festival, is not the entire work of Shakspeare, but an abridgment or condensation, forming but a single act'. From "Illustrated London News", 1864

Here's a possible caption for the photo print:
**Scene from "The Comedy of Errors": A Commemorative Moment**
In celebration of William Shakespeare's tercentenary, this photograph captures a memorable scene from his comedy, "The Comedy of Errors", as performed at Stratford-on-Avon in 1864. The play was abridged and condensed to form a single act, featuring the company of the Princess' Theatre.
Here, Antipholus of Syracuse (played by Mr. George Vining) is confronted by Adriana (Miss Caroline Carson), who mistakes him for her husband's brother from Ephesus. Meanwhile, Dromio of Syracuse (Mr. Charles Webb) looks on in amazement, remarking that they have entered a fantastical realm where magic has transformed them.
This photograph was published in the "Illustrated London News" in 1864 and serves as a testament to the enduring legacy of Shakespeare's works. It is a poignant reminder of the power of theatre to bring people together across time and space, even as we commemorate one of literature's greatest figures.
