EDITORS COMMENTS
Anne Page, Slender and Shallow: A Scene from The Merry Wives of Windsor (c1851, Feb. 15) This exquisite image captures Anne Page (1597), the beautiful and coveted young daughter of Master Page, in a scene from Shakespeare's beloved comedy, The Merry Wives of Windsor. In this production, Anne is portrayed as a slender, shallow, and vain young woman, who is the object of desire for both Sir John Falstaff and Master Ford. The scene depicts Anne, dressed in the height of fashion, standing in her elegant drawing room, surrounded by her admirers. Sir John Falstaff, with his mischievous grin, attempts to woo her with flattery and false promises, while Master Ford, filled with jealousy and anger, plots to deceive and humiliate her. Despite her shallow exterior, Anne is a clever and resourceful character, who outwits both suitors in the end. In this moment, however, she is oblivious to their true intentions, basking in the attention of her many admirers. The photograph, dating back to 1851, offers a glimpse into the world of Shakespearean theater during the Victorian era. The intricate details of Anne's costume, the rich textures of the room's furnishings, and the expressive body language of the actors transport us back in time, allowing us to experience the magic of The Merry Wives of Windsor as it was meant to be enjoyed. This scene is a testament to the enduring appeal of Shakespeare's comedies and the timeless nature of human emotions, which continue to resonate with audiences today.
