EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving depicts Mr W Davidge as Malvolio in Act III, scene iv of Shakespeare's Twelfth Night. The image showcases the talent and artistry of 19th-century English actors, with Mr Davidge embodying the character of Malvolio with great finesse. Dressed in a stunning costume from the Elizabethan era, Mr Davidge stands amidst a beautiful garden setting. His collar is intricately designed, adding to the authenticity of his portrayal. A fountain can be seen in the background, symbolizing both elegance and playfulness that are characteristic of this beloved comedy. The attention to detail in this engraving is remarkable; every line and shading brings out the essence of each character. Flowers surround Mr Davidge, perhaps representing his role as a servant who becomes entangled in romantic mischief within Illyria. As an actor renowned for his comedic performances during Victorian times, Mr Davidge perfectly captures Malvolio's pompous nature while also conveying his vulnerability. This illustration truly brings Shakespeare's words to life. Engraved by Bittlestone from a daguerreotype by Meade Brothers based in New York at that time period adds an American touch to this British production. Published as part of The Complete Works of Shakespeare collection around 1880 further solidifies its significance within literary history. Whether you are a fan of theater or simply appreciate fine art, this print offers a glimpse into both historical costumes and timeless characters brought forth by talented performers like Mr W Davidge.
