EDITORS COMMENTS
This color illustration showcases Titania, the enchanting Queen of the Fairies, as portrayed by the talented British actress and singer, Dorothy Hyson, in a production of Shakespeare's "A Midsummer Night's Dream" at the Old Vic Theatre in London during the late 1930s. Dressed in Victorian costumes, Hyson's regal attire harmoniously complemented the well-known Mendelssohn Midsummer Night's Dream music, which added to the magical and whimsical atmosphere of the production. The illustration, created by the renowned artist Ethel Gabain, was exhibited at the prestigious Royal Academy in 1939. The image captures Titania surrounded by an array of vibrant flowers, symbolizing her connection to nature and the fairy realm. This nostalgic portrait transports us back to a bygone era, evoking a sense of wartime charm and the unique spirit of the 1930s. With World War II looming on the horizon, the theatre provided an escape from the harsh realities of the world, offering solace and joy to audiences. Ethel Gabain's illustration is a testament to the power of art and theatre to transport us to other worlds and provide moments of beauty and wonder, even in the most challenging of times. This stunning piece continues to captivate and inspire, reminding us of the enduring allure of Shakespeare's classic tale and the magic of live performance.
