EDITORS COMMENTS
This image depicts the renowned English actor Charles Kean as the eccentric and enigmatic character, Lear, from Shakespeare's tragic play, "King Lear." The photograph was taken in 1846, during a production at the Theatre Royal in Parma, Italy. Kean's portrayal of the aged and mad king was a sensation, with his intense and unpredictable performance leaving audiences both enthralled and puzzled. In this moment, captured for posterity, Kean's Lear is shown in a quiet moment of contemplation, surrounded by an assortment of books and manuscripts. The title of the book he holds in his hand, "Nonsense," adds an intriguing layer of meaning to the scene. Was Lear seeking solace in the absurdities of life, or perhaps finding comfort in the illogical and irrational? The young lady in the background, dressed in the fashion of the day, looks on with a mixture of curiosity and amusement. Her question, "Are you dumb?" is met with Kean's enigmatic response, "Hum!" This exchange, taken from the popular nursery rhyme "There was a Young Lady of Parma," adds a touch of whimsy and lightness to the otherwise heavy and tragic scene. This photograph, published in 1846, is a testament to the power of theater to transport us to another world, to challenge our perceptions, and to provoke our thoughts. It is a reminder of the enduring allure of Shakespeare's works, and the timeless nature of human emotion and curiosity.
