EDITORS COMMENTS
This delightful cartoon captures the larger-than-life presence of Sir Herbert Tree as he portrayed the iconic character of Sir John Falstaff in a production of Henry IV Part I at His Majesty's Theatre in London during 1914. The humor in this image comes from the speech bubble above Falstaff's head, in which he exclaims "Zounds! I am so big that they've had to make a full page of me." This witty remark speaks to the size of Falstaff's character, both in terms of his physical stature, with his expansive stomach and comic costume, and his larger-than-life personality. Sir Herbert Tree was a renowned English actor of the early 20th century, known for his versatility and ability to bring complex characters to life on the stage. Here, he masterfully portrays Falstaff, a roguish and boisterous character from Shakespeare's plays, who is known for his wit, charm, and insatiable appetite. The production of Henry IV Part I, which also featured Tree as the King, was a critical and commercial success, and this cartoon serves as a testament to Tree's captivating performance as Falstaff. The image is a fascinating glimpse into the world of Shakespearean theatre during this era, with its grandeur, drama, and rich history. The cartoon's use of humor adds an additional layer of enjoyment, making it a must-have for any collection of theatre memorabilia or Shakespeareana. This image is a full-page print from Mary Evans Prints Online and is a wonderful reminder of the enduring appeal of classic theatre and the iconic characters that continue to captivate audiences to this day.
