EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the 16th century, capturing a scene from William Shakespeare's play "King Henry IV - Second Part". The image showcases an engraving by Charles W Sharpe, featured in the book "The Works of Shakspere" published by Charles Knight & Co. in London around 1870. In this dramatic portrayal, we witness a fictional character known as The Lady's Tailor measuring a lady's dress. The attention to detail is remarkable, with every fold and seam meticulously captured by Sharpe's skilled hand. This snapshot transports us to Elizabethan England, where men like the tailor played an essential role in creating fashionable attire for both women and men. The artist skillfully captures the essence of this profession, showcasing the precision required in taking measurements using a tape measure. As we observe this intimate moment between the tailor and his client, it becomes evident that clothing was not merely functional but also served as a form of self-expression during this era. Through this enchanting artwork, we are reminded of Shakespeare's enduring influence on literature and theatre. It serves as a testament to how his timeless works continue to inspire artists even centuries later. This print allows us to appreciate both the artistry behind Sharpe's engraving technique and the historical significance of Shakespearean drama within British culture.
