EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph print, hailing from the year 1908, presents a theatrical moment frozen in time from Shakespeare's enchanting play "A Midsummer Night's Dream." The image focuses on Titania, the ethereal and enchanting Queen of the Fairies, played by an unidentified actress. In this scene from Act II, Scene I, Titania is surrounded by her train of fairy attendants, as she contemplates staying longer with her consort, Oberon, after being placed under his spell. The queen's expression conveys a mixture of curiosity, frustration, and longing, as she commands her fairies to depart, "Fairies, away! We shall chide downright, if I no longer stay." The historical significance of this photograph lies in its representation of a theatrical production from the late Victorian era, a time when Shakespeare's works were experiencing a resurgence in popularity. The intricately designed costumes and the otherworldly atmosphere of the scene transport us back to a time when the magic of Shakespeare's plays came alive on the stage. The image serves as a testament to the enduring appeal of Shakespeare's works and the captivating performances they continue to inspire. This photograph print is a valuable historical artifact, offering a glimpse into the world of Shakespearean theatre over a century ago. It invites us to reflect on the timeless nature of Shakespeare's plays and the continued fascination they hold for audiences around the world.
