EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a caricatured portrayal of the melancholic Prince Hamlet, as penned by J.B. Lawreen in the music sheet title "Hamlet Ye Dane: A Ghost Story." The image, reminiscent of the Victorian era, features Hamlet in profile, donning his customary black attire and thin frame. His hose, tights, and feathered hat complete the Danish prince's tragic ensemble. The caricature, likely inspired by Sir Henry Irving's renowned performance as Hamlet during the late 1800s, adds an air of humor to the typically somber character. Irving's influence is evident in the elongated, thin figure and the exaggerated expression of sadness and contemplation on Hamlet's face. The music sheet, published by Boosey & Co. in the 1870s, offers a unique blend of history and theatricality. The title "Hamlet Ye Dane" suggests a connection to Denmark and the Danish prince's tragic story. The inclusion of the subtitle "A Ghost Story" further emphasizes the supernatural elements present in Shakespeare's renowned play. The caricatured Hamlet, with his unhappy countenance and thin frame, stands as a testament to the enduring appeal of Shakespeare's tragic hero and the theatrical innovations of the Victorian era. This print serves as a fascinating glimpse into the past, merging the worlds of literature, music, and theatrical caricature.
