EDITORS COMMENTS
"In the enchanting world of William Heath Robinson's illustration for Twelfth Night, Act II Scene ii, we find Viola, disguised as the page Cesario, gazing intently at the ring given to her by Olivia. This moment from Shakespeare's beloved comedy unfolds on a bustling Elizabethan street, where the delicate balance of love, deception, and identity is skillfully woven. Viola, having shipwrecked and believing her brother to be dead, dons the disguise of Cesario to serve Olivia, the woman she loves from afar. Olivia, captivated by Cesario's wit and charm, bestows the ring upon him as a token of her affection. In this moment, Viola is torn between her loyalty to her deceased brother and her own heart's desires. Heath Robinson's illustration masterfully captures the essence of this intricate scene, with Viola's expressive face revealing her inner turmoil as she holds the ring. The vibrant colors and intricate details of the Elizabethan costumes and setting transport us back to the Renaissance era, immersing us in the world of Twelfth Night. This illustration, created by the renowned British artist William Heath Robinson in 1947, is a testament to the enduring appeal of Shakespeare's comedy. It invites us to ponder the complexities of love, identity, and the human heart as we follow Viola on her journey of self-discovery and romantic entanglements." Credit: Courtesy of Mrs J. C.
