EDITORS COMMENTS
Title Page: A Victorian Illustration of Malvolio's Foolish Cross-Gartered Deception (1862) This title page, taken from an 1862 edition of Shakespeare's "Twelfth Night," showcases a delightful and intriguing illustration that encapsulates the essence of this classic comedy. The image depicts Malvolio, a proud and stuffy steward, being tricked by the mischievous and witty servants of Olivia, the noblewoman he adores. Malvolio, dressed in a yellow coat and white collar, is shown with a smug expression, proudly displaying his cross-gartered legs for Olivia, who is hidden from view behind the bushes. The yellow stockings, a symbol of his deception, are a stark contrast to the traditional black and white attire of the servants and garden setting. The image is a testament to the play's themes of deception, love, and the power of the fool. The illustration is a beautiful example of Victorian-era book design, with the title and author's name, "Twelfth Night by Shakespeare," elegantly written in ornate script at the top of the page. The illustration is also accompanied by the name of the artist, Sir John Gilbert, who was a renowned English painter and illustrator of the time. "Twelfth Night" is a timeless work of English literature, known for its witty dialogue, intricate plot, and memorable characters. The image of Malvolio's cross-gartered deception is a popular and enduring symbol of the play's comic and humorous elements. This title page is a fascinating glimpse into the Victorian era's interpretation of Shakespeare's work and the enduring appeal of "Twelfth Night" as a classic comedy.
