EDITORS COMMENTS
This 19th-century stipple engraving captures a scene from Shakespeare's play "As You Like It" specifically Act 1, Scene 2. Titled "Before the Dukes Palace-Rosalind, Celia, Orlando, the Duke & Attendants" this print was first published in 1800 and reissued in 1852. Created by William Satchwell Leney, an American artist known for his detailed engravings, it showcases the characters Rosalind, Celia, Orlando, and the Duke along with their attendants. The image beautifully portrays the characters' costumes and depicts them standing outside what appears to be a grand palace. The men are dressed in regal attire while the women wear elegant dresses adorned with feathers. An ostrich feather chain adds an extra touch of sophistication to one of the female figures. Leney's meticulous attention to detail brings these literary characters to life on paper. The print is now part of The Metropolitan Museum of Art's collection in New York City. This artwork serves as a visual representation of Shakespeare's enduring influence on literature and art across centuries and continents. It invites viewers to immerse themselves in the world of "As You Like It" and appreciate Leney's skillful interpretation through his masterful engraving technique.
