1870s Buchanan Costume Elizabethan Macbeth Play Shakespeare Theater Mckean
EDITORS COMMENTS
This print transports us back to the late 19th century, capturing a powerful moment from Shakespeare's iconic tragedy, Macbeth. The image showcases the American actor McKean Buchanan (1823-1872) in his portrayal of the titular character. With intense eyes and a commanding presence, Buchanan embodies the essence of Macbeth. The steel engraving, created around 1870, is based on a daguerreotype that beautifully captures Buchanan's likeness. The attention to detail in this artwork is remarkable; every line etched into the metal plate seems to convey both strength and vulnerability simultaneously. Dressed in an elaborate Elizabethan costume, Buchanan stands against a backdrop suggestive of an eerie scene from the play. His expression hints at inner turmoil as he grapples with ambition and moral decay – central themes explored throughout Macbeth. This print serves as a testament to both theatrical artistry and historical preservation. It allows us to glimpse into the world of 19th-century theater while celebrating one actor's interpretation of this timeless character. As we admire this piece by The Granger Collection in New York, we are reminded of how Shakespeare continues to captivate audiences across generations with his enduring works.
