EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Falstaff promising to marry Dame quickly" takes us back to the 19th century and brings to life a scene from William Shakespeare's comedic play, "The Merry Wives of Windsor". The print showcases the talented work of an English School artist whose identity remains unknown. In this lively illustration, we witness Sir John Falstaff making a hasty promise to marry Dame quickly. The mischievous expression on his face hints at his ulterior motives, as he attempts to woo not one but two married women in the play. Falstaff's larger-than-life personality is beautifully captured in this artwork, emphasizing his boisterous nature and insatiable appetite for adventure. The intricate details of the engraving transport us into the world of Shakespearean literature. We can almost hear the characters' voices and feel their excitement as they navigate through love triangles and humorous misunderstandings. This particular image was originally published in The Illustrated Times on July 25th, 1857. As we admire this fine art print, we are reminded of Shakespeare's timeless ability to entertain audiences across centuries with his wit and clever storytelling. It serves as a testament to both the enduring popularity of literary illustrations and our fascination with iconic characters like Falstaff who continue to captivate our imaginations today.
