EDITORS COMMENTS
This title page, hailing from the 1862 edition of "The Two Gentlemen of Verona" by Sir John Gilbert, offers a delightful glimpse into the world of Shakespearean comedy. The illustration, a masterpiece from the Victorian era, showcases the main characters of the play: Valentine (on the left), Proteus, and Launce with his ill-behaved dog, Crab. Valentine, with his serious expression and elegant attire, embodies the refined gentleman, while Proteus, to his right, appears more thoughtful and introspective. Their contrasting demeanors foreshadow the complex web of love, friendship, and betrayal that unfolds in the play. But the true comic relief of this image lies in the lower right corner, where Launce, a humble servant, struggles to control his unruly dog, Crab. With a mischievous glint in his eye and a firm grip on his dog's leash, Launce's comically exaggerated expression and posture add a lighthearted touch to the otherwise formal title page. This charming illustration, a product of the 1860s, offers a glimpse into the rich history of English literature and the enduring appeal of Shakespeare's comedies. The Two Gentlemen of Verona, first performed in the late 16th century, remains a beloved classic, and this title page serves as a delightful reminder of its enduring humor and timeless themes.
