1773 Bottom Chang Dream Fright Midsummer Nights Plays Shakespeare Thee Thou Translated
EDITORS COMMENTS
This print, dating back to 1773, depicts the renowned Shakespearean character Bottom from "A Midsummer Night's Dream," Act III, Scene I. In this famous scene, titled "Flower-de-luce and Cobweb," the mischievous fairy queen Titania and her attendants discover Bottom with a donkey's head, having been enchanted by the mischievous Oberon. The print beautifully captures the moment of revelation as Bottom, portrayed with a shocked and frightened expression, exclaims, "O Bottom, thou art changed! What do I see on thee?" The intricate details of the print, with its delicate lines and rich colors, transport us back to the world of Elizabethan theatre. The elaborate costumes of the fairies and their otherworldly features are rendered with great care, adding to the magical atmosphere of the scene. The print also showcases the skill and artistry of the engraver, who has faithfully translated the text into a visual masterpiece. "A Midsummer Night's Dream" is one of Shakespeare's most beloved comedies, and this print offers a unique glimpse into the way the play was interpreted and represented in the 18th century. The print is a testament to the enduring appeal of Shakespeare's works and the power of the theatre to transport us to other worlds, even three centuries later.
