Enter Falstaff Garter I Ii Merry Pistol Plays Shakespeare Windsor Wives Bardolph
EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled 'Wives of Windsor / Falstaff (Act I, Scene iii): Falstaff, Pistol & Bardolph enter the Garter Inn,' is a stunning historical snapshot from the annals of Shakespearean theatre. The image, taken in 1910, transports us back to an era when the Bard's works were brought to life on the stage with unparalleled passion and panache. The scene depicted in this photograph is from Act I, Scene iii of Henry IV, Part One, where the merry trio of Sir John Falstaff, Pistol, and Bardolph make their entrance at the Garter Inn in Windsor. Falstaff, the witty and roguish knight, is the undisputed center of attention, as he regales his companions with tales of his exploits and makes mischief with the innkeeper's wife. The photograph captures the essence of the scene with remarkable detail and authenticity. The actors, dressed in period costumes, are seen gathered around a table, with Falstaff in the foreground, gesturing animatedly as he speaks. Pistol, with his crossbow slung over his shoulder, listens intently, while Bardolph, the loyal and long-suffering servant, looks on with a mixture of amusement and exasperation. The setting of the Garter Inn is beautifully recreated, with its wooden beams, tavern decor, and the warm, inviting glow of the fireplace. The atmosphere is lively and convivial, as if we have been transported back in time to witness this moment in Shakespeare's enduring play firsthand. This photograph is a testament to the timeless appeal of Shakespeare's works and the enduring allure of the theatre. It invites us to step into the world of Falstaff and his companions, and to revel in their merriment and mischief. A true treasure for any Shakespearean scholar, theatre enthusiast, or history buff, this image is a must-have addition to any collection.
