All's Well That Ends Well
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a renowned play written by the great English playwright, William Shakespeare, first performed in the early 17th century. This title page, published in 1862, showcases an intriguing scene from the play, featuring the character Parolles, who is depicted with a blindfold over his eyes. Parolles, a man known for his disloyalty and deceit, is shown here in a pivotal moment of the play. Blindfolded and bound to a post, he is under the belief that he is revealing military and other secrets to his comrades, unaware that he is actually speaking to the King of France and Helena in disguise. This scene is a masterful display of Shakespeare's ability to weave complex plots and intrigue, as well as his exploration of themes of loyalty and disloyalty. The title page is an illustration from an 1862 edition of the play, published during the Victorian era. The image is attributed to Sir John Gilbert, a prominent English painter and illustrator of the time. The detailed and elegant design of the title page reflects the high-quality production values of the era, making it a valuable addition to any collection of Shakespearean literature or Victorian-era prints. The title page also features the play's title, "All's Well That Ends Well," in elegant script, along with the author's name, "William Shakespeare," and the publication information. The image of Parolles, blindfolded and revealing secrets, serves as a visual representation of the intrigue and drama contained within the pages of this classic work of English literature.
