EDITORS COMMENTS
This image transports us back to the Princess's Theatre in London during the year 1857, where Charles Kean graced the stage as King Richard II in Shakespeare's renowned play. The scene depicted here marks a pivotal moment in the production, as Bolingbroke, played by another esteemed actor, leads the captive King Richard on horseback through the city. The image is filled with a sense of grandeur and solemnity, as the city trumpeters announce Bolingbroke's arrival with fanfare. Royal banners flutter in the wind, while noblemen, sheriffs, aldermen, and captains, all resplendent in armor, follow closely behind. The Duke of Lancaster's banner proudly precedes the procession, signifying Bolingbroke's claim to the throne. Bolingbroke's triumphant entry is juxtaposed with the dejected figure of King Richard, who rides a humble horse, his regal bearing now replaced by a heavy heart. The people of London watch in silence as the once-mighty monarch is led away to prison. The image captures the bittersweet moment of Richard's downfall, as the crowd keeps a respectful distance, allowing every onlooker to bear witness to the spectacle. The Illustrated London News reported on this production, describing the scene as "poor Richard himself appears, and is received by the people with ominous silence." This photograph offers a glimpse into the past, providing a visual representation of the powerful and poignant moment from Shakespeare's classic play.
