EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the art of theatrical make-up, specifically depicting the character Shylock. The image is part of a series called "Progressive Pictures" created by Cavendish Morton in 1909 for his book "The Art of Theatrical Make-up". Shylock, a well-known character from William Shakespeare's play "The Merchant of Venice" is brought to life through intricate and skillful application of make-up. This photograph offers a glimpse into the transformative power of stage cosmetics, as it captures the process of creating Shylock's appearance. Morton's self-portrait reveals his expertise in capturing characters' essence through make-up. His attention to detail is evident in every stroke and contour on his face, resulting in a striking portrayal that brings out both the vulnerability and complexity within Shylock. As we delve into this historical image, we are transported back to an era where theatre was not just about performance but also about visual storytelling. Through this photograph, we witness how make-up can be used as a tool for disguise and expression on stage. This print serves as a testament to Morton's talent as well as an homage to the rich history of theatrical arts. It reminds us that behind every memorable performance lies hours spent perfecting each character's appearance – an art form that continues to captivate audiences today.
