EDITORS COMMENTS
This illustration, titled 'Much Ado About Nothing' by the esteemed English playwright, William Shakespeare, dates back to the 1840s. The illustration, created by the accomplished artist Kenny Meadows, serves as the introductory piece for this classic work of literature. The scene portrays a dozy member of the nightwatch, as he leans against his lantern, his eyes heavy with sleep. The sleeper's halberd and lantern, traditional weapons of the nightwatch, lie beside him. The moon casts a gentle glow upon the scene, bathing the night in a soft, ethereal light. The serene and peaceful image sets the tone for the play, which is filled with humor, wit, and deception. The early Victorian era, during which this illustration was created, was a time of great literary and artistic innovation in England. This illustration is a testament to the enduring appeal of Shakespeare's works and the artistic talent of the time.
