EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a poster advertising the enchanting play "A Midsummer Night's Dream" by William Shakespeare. The image, captured by an English School photographer in the 19th century, emanates a sense of timeless beauty. The poster promotes a performance of the play at the iconic Globe Theatre, managed for one season in 1890 by F. R Benson. Known for his dedication to Shakespearean productions, Benson's company brought this whimsical tale to life on December 19th. The intricate art nouveau design features delicate butterflies fluttering around fairies amidst a magical forest scene with toadstools. The composition exudes an air of mystique and allure, drawing viewers into the world of Shakespeare's classic comedy. It serves as a testament to both the enduring popularity of "A Midsummer Night's Dream" and Benson's commitment to preserving and celebrating Shakespearean works. This print is part of a private collection, offering us a glimpse into history through its artistic portrayal. As we admire this remarkable piece from www. bridgemanart. com, we are reminded of the power that theatre holds in transporting audiences to fantastical realms where dreams come true and love conquers all.
