EDITORS COMMENTS
Step into the captivating world of Shakespeare's most melancholic prince with this enchanting 1901 cartoon by R.C. Carter. Featuring the renowned actor Johnston Forbes-Robertson in the title role of Hamlet, this evocative image captures the depth and intensity of the dramatic character. Forbes-Robertson was celebrated as the preeminent Hamlet of his time, and his portrayal of the brooding Dane left audiences spellbound. In this striking illustration, Forbes-Robertson is depicted in the graveyard scene, plucking hairs still attached to Yorick's skull. The skull, a symbol of mortality and the transience of life, serves as a poignant reminder of the fragility of existence and the inexorable passage of time. The theatrical setting, with its dramatic lighting and evocative shadows, transports us to the world of Elizabethan theatre and the magic of live performance. This postcard, a rare glimpse into the popular entertainment of the early 20th century, is a must-have for any Shakespearean or thespian enthusiast. Relive the magic of Hamlet as brought to life by the inimitable Johnston Forbes-Robertson, and be transported to the enchanting world of the theatre.
