EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a historic moment in theater history, showcasing American actors Edwin Forrest and Charlotte Saunders Cushman as the iconic characters of Macbeth and Lady Macbeth. The image takes us back to 1845 at the Princess Theatre in London, where these talented performers brought Shakespeare's tragic play to life. In this contemporary English line engraving, we see the intensity and passion that both actors bring to their roles. Edwin Forrest embodies the tormented soul of Macbeth, his face filled with anguish and determination. Meanwhile, Charlotte Saunders Cushman exudes power and ambition as Lady Macbeth, her gaze piercing through the viewer's soul. The scene depicted here is one of great significance - it showcases the pivotal moment when Lady Macbeth convinces her husband to commit regicide by wielding a knife. The tension between them is palpable as they navigate their descent into darkness. Notably, this portrayal challenges traditional gender norms for its time. Both Forrest and Cushman were known for breaking boundaries on stage – Cushman even defied societal expectations by openly embracing her lesbian identity offstage. This remarkable illustration not only commemorates an exceptional performance but also serves as a testament to the enduring legacy of Shakespeare's works. It reminds us of how art can transcend time and borders while pushing boundaries along the way.
