EDITORS COMMENTS
This enchanting 1910 colour lithograph captures a whimsical scene from William Shakespeare's play, "The Merry Wives of Windsor". In the dusky glow of twilight, we are transported to a magical meadow where nightly meadow fairies gather. The illustration by Hugh Thomson (1860-1920) showcases his exceptional talent for bringing Shakespearean tales to life. A group of young girls, dressed in charming period attire, stand amidst the woodland setting. Their faces radiate joy as they join their ethereal companions in song. Bathed in the soft moonlight filtering through the trees, these fairy-like creatures lend an air of mystery and wonder to the scene. At the center of attention is Falstaff, one of Shakespeare's most beloved comedic characters. His rotund figure and jovial expression suggest that he has stumbled upon this secret gathering quite unexpectedly. Perhaps he was lured here by their melodious voices or simply found himself lost in this enchanted realm. This historic print is part of the Historica Graphica Collection and serves as a testament to both Thomson's artistic prowess and Shakespeare's enduring influence on literature and art. It invites us to immerse ourselves in a world where imagination reigns supreme—a place where fairies sing under moonlit skies while humans stumble upon moments of pure magic.
