EDITORS COMMENTS
Measured Proportions of Justice: A Victorian Vision of Measure for Measure's Title Page This title page, published in 1862, offers a striking visual representation of Shakespeare's Measure for Measure. The image, from the Mary Evans Picture Library, showcases Duke Vincentio in disguise as Friar Lodowick, a pivotal moment in this intricate drama of power, morality, and deception. Set against an ornate, gold-embossed background, the title "Measure for Measure" is elegantly displayed in bold, flowing script. Above it, Duke Vincentio, the ruler of Vienna, is depicted in disguise, his face hidden beneath a monk's cowl. He clutches a long, flowing cloak, adding to the mystique of his disguise. The Duke's decision to don the cloak of a friar and assume the guise of Friar Lodowick is a crucial plot point in the play, as he embarks on a mission to test the moral fiber of his subjects and restore order to his city. The Victorian era, known for its love of Shakespeare and theatrical productions, is reflected in the exquisite detail and artistic craftsmanship of this title page. Sir John Gilbert, the renowned English artist, is believed to have created this illustration, further adding to its historical and cultural significance. The image encapsulates the essence of Shakespeare's play, inviting readers to delve into the complexities of Measure for Measure and explore the themes of disguise, power, and justice that continue to resonate with audiences today.
