EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving from the 19th century depicts Mr Phelps as Hamlet and Miss Glyn as Queen Gertrude in Act III, Scene IV of Shakespeare's iconic play. The image showcases the artistry and skill of these fictional actors, who bring to life the tragic characters with their striking costumes and powerful performances. The scene captures a pivotal moment in the play, where Hamlet confronts his mother about her hasty marriage to his uncle. Mr Phelps embodies the tormented prince of Denmark, while Miss Glyn portrays a regal and conflicted Queen Gertrude. Their expressive faces convey a range of emotions, adding depth to this dramatic encounter. The elaborate costumes worn by both actors are meticulously detailed, reflecting the fashion trends of the Elizabethan era. Miss Glyn's crown adds an air of authority to her character, while Mr Phelps' attire reflects Hamlet's status as a nobleman. This engraving is part of "The Complete Works of Shakespeare" published in London around 1880. It is based on a daguerreotype by Paine from Islington and has been digitally cleaned for enhanced clarity. Through this artwork, we are transported back in time to witness a momentous scene from one of Shakespeare's greatest tragedies. The illustration serves as a testament to the enduring power and influence that Shakespearean plays continue to hold over audiences worldwide.
