EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of Lord Bowatall, a character from William Shakespeare's renowned play "Twelfth Night, or What You Will". Created in 1844 by an unknown artist, this engraving showcases the humor and wit that permeates throughout the play. Lord Bowatall is depicted in full length, bowing with a comical expression on his face. The image transports us back to 19th century Britain, where caricatures like these were popularly featured in newspapers such as the Illustrated London News. This particular print was part of a supplement to this esteemed publication. As we delve into the world of Twelfth Night, we are reminded of timeless wisdom passed down through generations. The caption draws inspiration from a heartwarming memory shared by my grandmother: "You never lose nothing by being polite". These words resonate deeply as they emphasize the importance of kindness and respect towards others. In this light-hearted portrayal, Lord Bowatall's exaggerated bow becomes symbolic of manners and courtesy. It serves as a reminder that small gestures can have lasting impacts on our relationships with others. With its Victorian charm and connection to Shakespearean literature, this print holds historical significance while also evoking laughter and amusement.
