EDITORS COMMENTS
This chromolithograph captures a scene from William Shakespeare's comedic play, "The Merry Wives of Windsor" first performed in either 1597 or 1600. The illustration by George Cruikshank, featured in an edition of Shakespeare's works published in London between 1856 and 1858, depicts the moment when Falstaff realizes he has been made a fool. In this particular act, Falstaff believes he is meeting Mistress Ford as Herne the Hunter in Windsor Forest for a romantic rendezvous. However, unbeknownst to him, it is all part of an elaborate trick orchestrated by the merry wives. As Falstaff waits expectantly in the forest, fairies pinch and punch him mercilessly. With his face filled with both surprise and humiliation, Falstaff exclaims those famous words captured within this image: "I do begin to perceive that I am made an Ass". This line perfectly encapsulates his deflation and realization that he has become the butt of their joke. Cruikshank's vibrant illustration brings this humorous moment to life with its intricate details and expressive characters. It showcases not only his artistic talent but also highlights the enduring popularity of Shakespeare's plays even centuries after they were written. Through this print, viewers are transported back to Elizabethan England where they can witness firsthand one of Shakespeare's most beloved comedic scenes unfold before their eyes.
