EDITORS COMMENTS
The Shakespeare Festival at Stratford-on-Avon (engraving) captures the vibrant atmosphere of this iconic event in 1864. The print, created by John Dower, offers a detailed glimpse into the various elements that made up this grand celebration of William Shakespeare's works. In the foreground, we see a bustling street filled with eager spectators making their way towards the festival grounds. A covered vestibule and stairs lead to an impressive theatrical stage where performances are taking place. The Shakespeare Pavilion stands proudly, its architecture reflecting the rich history of Stratford-on-Avon. The image also highlights other essential features such as refreshment rooms, ticket offices, and committee spaces. Gentlemen and ladies can be seen preparing for the festivities in their respective dressing rooms while maps and glasses adorn nearby corridors. Beyond the main pavilion lies a green field where visitors engage in lively ball games and other parlor activities. A stone church looms majestically in the background, reminding us of Stratford's deep connection to its renowned playwright. This engraving not only showcases the grandeur of theatrical representations during this festival but also provides insight into daily life surrounding it. It is a testament to both artistry and historical significance.
