SCENE FROM "DAVID GARRICK," AT THE HAYMARKET THEATRE: GARRICK...[AND] ADA INGOT..., 1864. CREATOR: UNKNOWN.
Scene from "David Garrick," at the Haymarket Theatre: Garrick (Mr. Sothern) entreating Ada Ingot (Miss Moore) to return to her father, 1864. London stage production. 'Those of our readers who are curious to know how Mr. Sothern looks now that he has removed his moustache...will be interested in the Engraving [of] the new play of "David Garrick." Mr. Sothern, as all playgoers know, assumes the trying part of the great English actor...his impersonation is throughout easy and natural. It may seem a curious compliment to pay to one actor who represents another, to say that the performance is remarkably un-stagey - except, of course, when the exigencies of the scene require a display of theatrical art in its ordinary sense...in the scene where he simulates drunkenness he proves himself fully equal to the fresh call upon his powers..."David Garrick,"...has served Mr. Buckstone's purpose by drawing crowded houses...The Sketch we have engraved represents that passage, in the last scene of the play, where Garrick, who has been feigning bad manners that he may cure Aga Ingot of her romantic passion for himself, consoles her for the mortification she has suffered, and persuades her to go home to her father; while the father stands behind to listen'.

BOX MADE OF THE WOOD OF SHAKSPEARE’S MULBERRY-TREE, PRESENTED TO [DAVID] GARRICK..., 1864. CREATOR: UNKNOWN.
Box made of the wood of Shakspeare's mulberry-tree, presented to [David] Garrick by the town of Stratford-on-Avon, 1864. Item from a bequest to the British Museum: '...the box or casket, made of the wood of the mulberry-tree planted by Shakspeare, in which the freedom of the borough of Stratford-on Avon was presented to [Shakespearian actor David] Garrick. This casket was purchased by the late Mr. Mathews, the comedian, at Mrs. Garrick's sale, and when his library and curiosities were brought to the hammer in August, 1835, it was, amidst a crowd of bidders, knocked down to Mr. George Daniel, at a large sum. It is exquisitely carved with the following devices: In the front, Fame holding the bust of Shakspeare, and the three Graces crowning him with laurel; on the back, Garrick, finely delineated, in the character of King Lear in the storm scene; on the sides are emblematical figures representing Tragedy and Comedy; the top and corners are boldly carved with subjects and devices from Shakspeare's works. It is raised upon and supported by four silver griffins, with ruby eyes. On the 3rd of May, 1709, the freedom of Stratford-on-Avon was presented to Mr. Garrick, inclosed in this famous casket'.

THE SHAKSPEARE COMMEMORATION AT STRATFORD-ON-AVON: SCENE FROM "THE COMEDY OF ERRORS"...1864. CREATOR: UNKNOWN.
The Shakspeare Commemoration at Stratford-On-Avon: scene from "The Comedy of Errors", as performed in the Festival Pavilion, 1864. Celebrating the tercentenary of William Shakespeare's birth. Play performed by the company of the Princess's Theatre. 'It is the scene in which Antipholus of Syracuse, being mistaken for his brother of Ephesus by the wife of the latter, is accosted, very much to his astonishment, with conjugal entreaties and reproaches, by Adriana, whom he never saw before in his life. She has been scolding him for his neglect, and she now insists upon taking his arm and leading him home to dinner; while Dromio, no less astonished than his master, cries out that they have got into fairyland, and are transformed, in mind and shape, by some fallacious arts of magic. This Dromio (of Syracuse) is Mr. Charles Webb, whom nobody can distinguish from his brother Henry, the Dromio of Ephesus; Mr. George Vining is the Antipholus of Syracuse, and the Adriana is Miss Caroline Carson. "The Comedy of Errors," as performed at the Princess's and at the Stratford festival, is not the entire work of Shakspeare, but an abridgment or condensation, forming but a single act'.

THE SHAKSPEARE COMMEMORATION AT STRATFORD-ON-AVON: MR. E. F. FLOWER, THE MAYOR OF STRATFORD, 1864. CREATOR: UNKNOWN.
The Shakspeare Commemoration at Stratford-On-Avon: Mr. E. F. Flower, the Mayor of Stratford, 1864. Portrait of '...Edward Fordham Flower, the Mayor of Stratford-on-Avon, who has exerted himself so much in the last six months to make all the arrangements for the Shakspeare festival...[He] settled at Stratford-on-Avon, where, two years before, he had inscribed his name in the visitors' book in Shakspeare's house as "Citizen of the World." The Duke of Wellington's Government had just then taken the tax off brewery beer. Until then there had been few public breweries in Warwickshire; but, in 1832, Mr. Flower opened a brewery. He went steadily on, and ultimately achieved a fair amount of success. At the end of thirty years he gave up the brewery to two of his sons...He is a magistrate for the county of Warwick, and has been four times Mayor of Stratford-on-Avon, having served in the years '51 and '52, after which he retired from holding office in the town until two years ago. Then, in anticipation of the "Tercentenary" [of William Shakespeare's birth], a numerously-signed requisition from the inhabitants was sent to induce him again to become Mayor, that he might take a leading part in celebrating this occasion'.

THE SHAKSPEARE COMMEMORATION: SCENE FROM..."KING HENRY IV.", PART I, PLAYED AT DRURY LANE..., 1864. CREATOR: UNKNOWN.
The Shakspeare Commemoration: scene from Shakspeare's play of "King Henry IV.", Part I, as played at Drury Lane - Battle of Shrewsbury, in the last act, 1864. 'In our review of the performance at Drury Lane of this wonderful historical drama, we noticed not only the admirable manner in which the play is acted throughout, but the skill and effect with which, in the last act, the Battle of Shrewsbury was managed. The general melée was prepared for by stage arrangements which gave the greatest effect to it, both in regard to the suddenness of its appearance and the completeness of its accessories...[we] give the reader some notions of this remarkable scene by an Engraving...Such a representation cannot, it is true, give any great prominence to the principal actors; but it can display the confusion and the grandeur of the battle-field, which here scarcely shows as a stage-scene at all, but, in consequence of the excellent arrangements to which we have alluded, looks like the reality itself. Stage illusion has never been carried to a higher point, nor have the resources of our national stage ever been devoted to a worthier object. It is highly creditable to the management and to the public by whose patronage it has been supported'. From "Illustrated London News", 1864.

THE SHAKSPEARE COMMEMORATION IN LONDON: PLANTING AN OAK ON PRIMROSE HILL, 1864. CREATOR: UNKNOWN.
The Shakspeare Commemoration in London: planting an oak on Primrose Hill, [London], 1864. The Working Men's Committee plants an oak tree '...in honour of the English poet...Mr. Phelps, the most popular of English Shakspearean actors, had consented to perform the office...The southern face of the hill was covered with people...A large square space, below the steep ascent, was inclosed with an iron railing, and reserved for those who paid their shilling to enter...Mr. George Cruikshank...wore his volunteer uniform...But Mr. Phelps, who is deservedly a favourite of the London working men-having taught them to understand and enjoy Shakspeare by his high-minded management of Sadler's Wells - was received with the most enthusiastic welcome...he stood before the applauding multitude, and waited while the tree, with much of the soil of Windsor clinging to its roots, was lifted and set upright in a hole which had been dug for its reception...That vast multitude...testified to the intense feeling of devotion and reverence they had for the memory of their illustrious countryman; and the committee felt, acting for their countrymen at large, that to no fitter hands than those of Mr. Phelps could be consigned the work of the day...(Protracted cheering)'.

THE SHAKSPEARE COMMEMORATION: BANQUET IN THE PAVILION, STRATFORD-ON-AVON...EARL OF CARLISLE..., 1864 CREATOR: UNKNOWN.
The Shakspeare Commemoration: banquet in the pavilion at Stratford-on-Avon...the Earl of Carlisle proposing "The Memory of Shakespeare", 1864. '...the pavilion...had been so constructed that it might serve the purposes, alternately, of a dining-hall, a theatre, and a ball-room. The upper table, reserved for the president and most distinguished guests, was placed in front of the stage, in place of the movable orchestra. Behind the table were the reporters, and behind these again were the choir of Stratford church, who enlivened the proceedings with some vocal music. The floor in front of the orchestra, where the pit is situated when the pavilion is used as a theatre, were eight tables, placed at right angles to the president's table; and some other tables were placed on the stage itself, or in front of the grand tier of boxes. About 700 ladies and gentlemen sat down to eat, while there were hundreds more as spectators in the galleries. The interior of the pavilion...was seen to great advantage when filled with company and converted to the purpose of a social entertainment. The stage was backed with a landscape scene, which gave to the banquet at the tables immediately adjoining somewhat the aspect of a fête champêtre'. From "Illustrated London News", 1864.

THE ESCAPE, BY R. BEAVIS, FROM THE EXHIBITION OF THE ROYAL ACADEMY, 1864. CREATOR: W THOMAS.
The Escape, by R. Beavis, from the Exhibition of the Royal Academy, 1864. Engraving of a painting depicting a '...chivalric and important personage - a [Scottish] Border chieftain, we should say - one who, though here obliged to ride for his life, loves fighting even more than plundering. Our impression is confirmed by the quotation which follows the title in the catalogue of the recently-closed Exhibition...: "his sole delight, The moonlight raid, the morning fight". This is a quotation from the fourth canto of Scott's "Lay of the Last Minstrel," and applied to the brave old Lord of Harden...we own to always feeling a fresh and thrilling interest in the Border-stories of daring exploit and hairbreadth escape. And in seeing the imminent peril of this chief, so vividly placed before us by Mr. Beavis, and that, too, threatening a Border hero, who, judging by the blazing buildings in the distance, appears, single-handed, to have done mischief enough for many, and who even now seems half disposed to turn upon his pursuers - can we help sympathising even with the apparent wrongdoer, or expressing a wish that the carbine-bullet will miss, so that...he may soon laugh at his pursuers, and, as the title seems to promise, may safely effect his "escape"?'.

THE TASK OF ERINNA, THE GREEK POETESS, SCULPTURED BY H. S. LEIFCHILD,...ROYAL ACADEMY, 1864. CREATOR: UNKNOWN.
The Task of Erinna, The Greek Poetess, sculptured by H. S. Leifchild, from the exhibition of the Royal Academy, 1864. 'Erinna was...connected with the Lesbian school of Sappho...she is described as a native of Telos, a small island of the AEgean, and as dying, at the early age of nineteen, a victim to an excited imagination and the restraints imposed upon its indulgence. Instead of being permitted to engage in her favourite pursuits, she was kept closely employed at the spindle and other household avocations. To account, therefore, for the familiar allusions to her among the ancients as a Lesbian or Mitylenaean, we must conclude that her family settled in Mitylene. It would very naturally follow that simple, honest, Dorian parents should guard against the risk of their daughter being drawn into the neighbouring vortex of refined dissipation...there can be little doubt of the very free character and habits of the most gifted mistress of erotic verse and her Lesbian circle of female associates...It...[is] natural that..."a maiden of fervid temperament, conscious of her capacity to shine among the most brilliant members of the Sapphic sisterhood and exposed on every side to its seductive attraction, should pine under the disappointment".' From "Illustrated London News", 1864. The Task of Erinna, The Greek Poetess, sculptured by H. S. Leifchild,...Royal Academy, 1864. Creator: Unknown. (KEYSTONE/HERITAGE IMAGES/THE PRINT COLLECTOR)
