EDITORS COMMENTS
Isabella, by Francis W Topham (1888), is a captivating photographic portrait of the Shakespearian heroine Isabella, brought to life by the skillful brush of Victorian photographer Francis Topham. The image, taken from Measure for Measure, captures the essence of Isabella's complex character as she is portrayed on the Shakespearean stage. Isabella, a novice nun, stands before us in her traditional habit and wimple, her hands clasped in prayer. Her serious expression and downcast gaze convey a deep sense of introspection and devotion. The graphic contrast between the stark white of her habit and the dark background adds to the dramatic effect, emphasizing the religious and contemplative nature of the character. The 1880s Victorian era comes alive through the intricate details of Isabella's costume, from the folds of her habit to the delicate wimple that frames her face. The photograph is a testament to the artistry of both Topham and the theatrical production of Measure for Measure, which explored the themes of morality, sexuality, and the power of forgiveness. Isabella's character presents a problematic situation in the play, as she is torn between her religious vows and her love for the man she believes has fathered an illegitimate child. The photograph captures a moment of quiet reflection, as if inviting us to ponder the depths of her inner turmoil. Francis Topham's photograph of Isabella is more than just a portrait; it is a visual representation of the timeless and complex nature of Shakespeare's heroines, and a testament to the enduring power of the written word to inspire art and imagination.
