EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative print, dated 1785, depicts the renowned English actor, John Philip Kemble, portraying the role of Prospero in William Shakespeare's classic play, "The Tempest." In this scene from Act I, Scene I, Miranda, played by the talented Sarah Siddons as Miss Phillips, expresses her deep concern for the distressed souls who are being tormented by Prospero's magic. The poignant moment is captured in this image with Miranda, with a pained expression on her face, reaching out to touch the heart of the audience as she laments, "O! the cry did knock against my very heart/Poor souls! They perish." The historical significance of this print lies in the fact that it represents a pivotal moment in the theatrical history of Shakespeare's works. John Philip Kemble and Sarah Siddons were two of the most celebrated actors of their time, and their performances in "The Tempest" were highly acclaimed. The print offers a glimpse into the past, providing a visual representation of how Shakespeare's plays were brought to life on the stage during the late 18th century. The intricate details of the print, from the elaborate costumes to the expressive facial expressions, offer a window into the world of Shakespearean theatre during this period. The print also serves as a testament to the enduring appeal of Shakespeare's works, which continue to captivate audiences more than three centuries after they were first written. This image is a valuable historical artifact, offering insights into the world of Shakespearean theatre during the 18th century and the powerful impact of live performance on the human experience.
