EDITORS COMMENTS
This illustration by Kenny Meadows, dated 1840, is a stunning representation of William Shakespeare's beloved comedy, The Merry Wives of Windsor. The play, which follows the misadventures of Sir John Falstaff as he attempts to woo two married women, is brought to life through Meadows' intricate and whimsical artistry. The illustration features a decorative skull and antlers, symbolizing the themes of deception and mischief that permeate the play. Surrounding the skull are the portraits of the merry wives themselves, Mistress Page and Mistress Ford, each wearing a distinctive cap adorned with a red rose and a blue cap, respectively. Their playful grins and the mischievous twinkle in their eyes suggest their cleverness and determination to outwit Sir John. The cast list, neatly arranged at the bottom of the illustration, adds an elegant and vintage touch to the piece. The Victorian era, with its love for intricate details and ornate designs, is beautifully captured in Meadows' illustration. The early 19th century setting of the play is further emphasized by the period costumes and the use of antlers, a common motif in Victorian art. The Merry Wives of Windsor, with its timeless themes and memorable characters, continues to be a beloved classic in the world of literature and drama. This exquisite illustration by Kenny Meadows is a testament to the enduring appeal of Shakespeare's works and the artistic talent of the Victorian era.
