EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph print, titled 'Theatre Villains, Shakespeare's King Richard III,' transports us back to the mid-19th century as it showcases the menacing portrayal of one of Shakespeare's most infamous villains. The image, taken in January 1863, features the ominous figure of King Richard III, as brought to life on the London stage during the Victorian era. Dressed in a richly detailed costume reminiscent of the Middle Ages, the actor portraying Richard dons an ermine-trimmed robe and a menacingly tall, pointed crown. His boots, adorned with intricate designs, add to the regal yet sinister appearance. In his hand, he clutches a sword, a symbol of power and the instrument of his infamous deeds. The photograph, which dates back to both 1832 and 1862, offers a unique glimpse into the world of Victorian theatre. The image was likely published in a popular society magazine, further highlighting the fascination with Shakespearean plays and their villainous characters during this time. Richard III, a king known for his deceit, manipulation, and ruthless ambition, has long captivated audiences with his complex and chilling portrayal. This photograph print not only serves as a testament to the enduring power of Shakespeare's plays but also to the skill and artistry of the actors who brought these characters to life on the Victorian stage.
