EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a monumental bust of the legendary playwright, William Shakespeare, located at his birthplace in Stratford-Upon-Avon. The drawing, dating back to 1840, is part of the Historical and Literary Curiosities collection by Charles John Smith. What makes this print truly remarkable are the signatures adorning it - autographs left behind by celebrated British actors who have performed Shakespeare's iconic plays throughout history. These signatures serve as a testament to the enduring influence and impact of Shakespeare's works on the world of theater. The image exudes an air of elegance and timelessness, capturing not only the essence of Shakespeare but also reflecting upon the artistic achievements that have been inspired by his genius. It transports us back to a different era when handwriting was an art form in itself. Amongst these notable signatures are those belonging to Caius Gabriel Cibber, Charles Macklin, and Charles McLaughlin - all esteemed figures in their own right within the realm of acting during the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. As we gaze upon this print, we cannot help but feel connected to both past and present; appreciating how one man's words continue to resonate with audiences across generations. It serves as a reminder that great art has no expiration date - it lives on through countless interpretations by talented individuals who bring these timeless stories to life on stage.
