EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a scene from William Shakespeare's beloved comedy, Much Ado about Nothing. Dating back to 1856-1858, this chromolithograph beautifully depicts Act 4 Scene 2, where Dogberry, the Constable of the watch, instructs his clerk to record the responses given by Conrade and Borachio. Shakespeare's play was first performed around 1598 and remains a timeless masterpiece in literature and theatre. It is believed that the character of Dogberry was specifically written for William Kemp or Kempe, an Elizabethan comedian who brought humor and charm to the role. The illustration itself is a work of art by Robert Dudley (fl1858-1893), created for an edition of Shakespeare's works published in London during the same period. The vibrant colors bring life to this historic moment on stage. In this image, we witness a fascinating blend of law and order with comedic elements. The concept of judgment is cleverly intertwined with witty dialogue and humorous situations. This scene showcases British court proceedings in the late 16th century while providing entertainment through Shakespeare's brilliant storytelling. As we delve into this snapshot from history, it transports us back to a time when men like Dogberry fulfilled their duties as constables diligently. Their profession played an essential role in maintaining lawfulness within society. This print serves as both a visual delight and a reminder of Shakespeare's enduring legacy that continues to captivate audiences worldwide even after centuries have passed.
