EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisitely illustrated title page, sourced from the Victorian era, showcases a captivating representation of the Bard of Avon himself, William Shakespeare, surrounded by vignette scenes from his renowned Comedies. The youthful Shakespeare, with a quill in hand and a thoughtful expression, graces the top of the page, while the elderly playwright, with a flowing beard and a quill resting on his shoulder, gazes upwards from the bottom. The central focus of the page is a series of charming vignettes, each depicting iconic scenes from Shakespeare's Comedies. In one scene, we see the merrymaking in Venice from "The Merchant of Venice," with Shylock and Antonio in the foreground, while Portia and Bassanio look on. In another, the magical world of "A Midsummer Night's Dream" unfolds, with Titania and Oberon in a tender moment, and the mischievous Puck lurking nearby. The vignette of "The Taming of the Shrew" features the infamous scene of Petruchio and Katherine, with the former leading his new wife in a triumphant procession. From "The Tempest," the wise Prospero and his enchanted island provide a mystical backdrop, as he conjures up a tempest to teach the errant Ferdinand and Miranda a valuable lesson. The historical significance of this illustrated title page is further emphasized by the inclusion of scenes from lesser-known comedies, such as "The Taming of the Shrew," "Malvolio from Twelfth Night," and "The Merry Wives of Windsor." This rare and beautiful print offers a unique glimpse into the rich literary heritage of the 16th and 17th centuries, and serves as a testament to the enduring appeal of Shakespeare's timeless works.
