EDITORS COMMENTS
In this wood engraving from 1881, we are transported to Act I, Scene V of William Shakespeare's play "Cymbeline". The scene depicts Cornelius, the physician, presenting a box filled with the most poisonous compounds to the Queen. Sir John Gilbert's intricate illustration beautifully captures the tension and intrigue that surrounds this pivotal moment in the play. The late Elizabethan era comes alive through Gilbert's attention to detail, showcasing men and women dressed in elaborate royal attire. The Queen sits upon her throne adorned with a majestic crown, while Cornelius stands before her with an air of mystery and trepidation. His outstretched hand delicately presents the box containing deadly substances that hold great power over life and death. Shakespeare masterfully weaves together themes of deception and betrayal throughout "Cymbeline" making this particular scene all the more significant. As viewers gaze upon this print, they can almost feel themselves being drawn into a world where secrets lurk behind every corner. This wood engraving serves as a testament to both Shakespeare's enduring legacy and Sir John Gilbert's artistic prowess. It invites us to delve deeper into Cymbeline’s complex narrative while marveling at the skillful craftsmanship that brings these characters to life.
