EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures Norman Forbes in the role of Launcelot Gobbo from Shakespeare's classic play, "The Merchant of Venice," performed at the Adelphi Theatre in London on October 11, 1905. Forbes, an accomplished British actor, brings to life the complex and intriguing character of Launcelot, a servant to Shylock, the Jewish moneylender. Launcelot is a pivotal figure in the play, known for his shifting loyalties and his struggle between his Christian faith and his desire for personal gain. In this production, Forbes masterfully portrays the character's comedic and dramatic moments, showcasing his versatility as an actor. "The Merchant of Venice," written by William Shakespeare in the late 16th century, is a complex and thought-provoking play that explores themes of justice, mercy, and the human condition. The play is set in the bustling port city of Venice and follows the story of the merchant Antonio, who borrows a large sum of money from Shylock, putting himself and his friend Bassanio in a precarious position. This photograph is a rare glimpse into the past, offering a glimpse into the world of Shakespearean theatre at the turn of the 20th century. It is a testament to the enduring power of Shakespeare's plays and the talent of the actors who bring his characters to life on stage. This image is a must-have for any Shakespearean scholar, theatre historian, or anyone with an appreciation for the rich history of the stage.
