EDITORS COMMENTS
This image, entitled 'Shakespeare - Henry V - Pistol: Pish for thee, Iceland dog!' transports us back to the bustling streets of 19th century London, where the spirit of William Shakespeare's timeless works continued to captivate audiences. The scene depicts the iconic character of Pistol, a comic relief figure from Henry V, engaging in a heated exchange with the Hostess of the Garter Inn and her loyal Iceland dog. Pistol, portrayed here with a sword at his side and a dagger tucked into his belt, is known for his quick wit and penchant for brawls. In this moment, he taunts the Hostess, playfully calling her dog an 'Iceland dog,' a term used to mock its perceived ugliness. The Hostess, visibly irked, responds with hostility, brandishing a hat with a prominent feather. Bardolph and Nim, two other members of the King's company, can be seen in the background, likely trying to diffuse the situation. The image, circa 1830, is a testament to the enduring appeal of Shakespeare's works, which continued to be performed and adapted for various audiences well into the 19th century. The use of humor and the portrayal of beloved characters like Pistol serve to remind us of the play's ability to entertain and engage, even as the centuries passed. This photograph, from the extensive collection of Mary Evans Picture Library, offers a fascinating glimpse into the past, allowing us to experience a moment from Shakespeare's Henry V as if we were there, on the streets of London, witnessing the action unfold.
