EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a scene from William Shakespeare's renowned play, "The Merry Wives of Windsor". Illustrated by the talented George Cruikshank in 1890, it depicts the larger-than-life character Sir John Falstaff on a visit to his dear friend Page at Windsor. In this vibrant coloured etching, we witness the meeting between these two iconic figures of English literature. Falstaff, a knight known for his wit and charm, stands tall and confident as he arrives at the majestic Windsor Castle. His flamboyant attire reflects his boisterous personality, while his mischievous smile hints at the adventures that lie ahead. Page's homecoming is equally delightful as he warmly greets Falstaff with open arms. The female characters surrounding them add depth to this lively scene; their expressions range from curiosity to amusement as they observe this unexpected encounter. With its intricate details and rich colors, this illustration transports us back to Elizabethan England—a time when friendships were cherished and castles stood as symbols of power and grandeur. It reminds us of Shakespeare's enduring ability to bring characters to life through his words. As we gaze upon this enchanting print, we are reminded of the timeless appeal of Shakespearean plays and how they continue to captivate audiences even centuries after their creation.
