EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of Christopher Sly, a fictional character from Shakespeare's "Taming of the Shrew" as portrayed by artist Charles W Sharpe in 1870. The image is part of "The Works of Shakspere" collection by Charles Knight, published by Virtue & Co. Limited in London during the same period. In this scene, we find ourselves transported to an Elizabethan bedchamber where Sly lies drunkenly on a grand four-poster bed. His disheveled appearance and vacant expression depict his state of intoxication, emphasizing his role as a drunkard within the play. The attention to detail in Sharpe's engraving brings out every crease and fold in Sly's attire, showcasing both the artistry and craftsmanship involved. The composition cleverly juxtaposes Sly's presence with that of a female servant attending to him dutifully. This contrast highlights not only their differing roles but also adds depth to the narrative surrounding class distinctions prevalent during that era. Sharpe skillfully captures Sir William Quiller Orchardson's interpretation of Christopher Sly with monochrome precision, allowing viewers to appreciate every nuance conveyed through light and shadow. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece, it serves as a reminder not only of Shakespearean theater but also how art can transport us back through time to experience moments from centuries past.
