EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving transports us back to the grandeur of a performance of "King John" at the New Theatre in Oxford. The members of the Oxford University Dramatic Club take center stage, bringing Shakespeare's historical play to life with their talent and passion. The image captures a pivotal moment in the play, as King John confronts Pandulph, portrayed by Mr. Lechmere Stuart. The intensity on their faces is palpable, reflecting the power struggle between church and state that unfolds throughout the story. Surrounding them are other key characters from the play, each meticulously depicted by artist Henry Marriott Paget. From Junior to Elinor, every member of this talented cast adds depth and authenticity to their roles. The setting itself exudes an air of elegance and sophistication befitting such a prestigious university theater. The attention to detail in both costumes and set design is remarkable, transporting viewers into medieval England with its regal atmosphere. This engraving originally appeared in The Graphic on February 14th, 1891 – a testament to its enduring beauty and significance within theatrical history. It serves as a reminder of the rich tradition of drama at Oxford University while showcasing the dedication and skill exhibited by its student performers. As we gaze upon this print today, we can't help but feel inspired by these young actors who brought Shakespeare's words to life over a century ago – reminding us that art has no boundaries when it comes to time or place.
