Coriolanus: A Tragedy" - Title Page (1862) This title page, published in 1862, introduces Shakespeare's timeless tragedy, "Coriolanus." The image, a masterpiece from the 1860s, showcases an elegant Victorian design that perfectly encapsulates the grandeur and intrigue of ancient Rome. At the heart of the title page, the title "Coriolanus: A Tragedy" is proudly displayed, with the play's author, "William Shakespeare," prominently featured below. The title is framed by intricate, ornate borders, evoking the rich history and depth of the play. Beneath the title, three significant characters from the play are depicted. On the left, Volumnia, a proud and domineering Roman matriarch, stands with her arms crossed, her stern expression conveying her unwavering determination. To her right, Virgilia, Coriolanus's gentle and loving wife, tenderly cradles their young son, Young Martius. The contrast between Volumnia's strength and Virgilia's nurturing nature underscores the complexities of the relationships within the play. Sir John Gilbert, a renowned English illustrator, is credited for bringing these characters to life on the title page. His skillful use of line and form captures the essence of Shakespeare's characters, providing a visual complement to the text of the play. As a testament to the enduring power of Shakespeare's works, this title page remains an exquisite example of Victorian-era design and illustration, inviting readers to explore the drama and emotion of "Coriolanus.
