EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Christopher Sly, Taming of the Shrew" transports us back to the late 19th century and into the mischievous world of William Shakespeare's famous play. Created by artist William Quiller Orchardson in approximately 1880, this print captures a pivotal moment in the story. In this scene, we find ourselves inside a bedroom where Christopher Sly, a drunken tinker, has been tricked into believing he is a nobleman. The room is filled with confusion as servants watch from behind a pretence screen while Sly tries to make sense of his new surroundings. The amused nobility are entertained by this game of deception as they observe Sly's bewildered state. The intricate details within the engraving bring forth an atmosphere of trickery and amusement. From the richly upholstered furnishings to the grand bed dominating the space, every element adds depth and authenticity to this theatrical setting. Orchardson's skillful portrayal captures both the comedic essence and underlying themes found within Shakespeare's work. Through his artistry, he invites us to witness not only Christopher Sly's shenanigans but also explore concepts such as class dynamics and societal roles that permeate throughout "Taming of the Shrew". This enchanting print serves as a timeless reminder of how literature can come alive through visual interpretation. It allows us to delve deeper into Shakespearean tales while appreciating artistic talent that brings these stories to life for generations across time and continents.
