EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving depicts Miss Cooper as Helena in Act II, scene iii of William Shakespeare's "A Midsummer Night's Dream". The scene is set in a whimsical woodland, with towering trees and lush foliage surrounding the actress. Miss Cooper, dressed in an elaborate costume befitting the 16th century setting, embodies the character of Helena with grace and charm. The image captures a pivotal moment in the play where Helena laments her unrequited love for Demetrius. Her expressive face conveys both vulnerability and determination as she navigates through the complexities of love and desire. The attention to detail in this engraving brings Shakespeare's words to life, allowing viewers to immerse themselves in the enchanting world of his literary masterpiece. Joseph Kenny Meadows' skillful artistry shines through this digitally cleaned image from a private collection. It serves as a testament to his talent as an illustrator during the late 19th century when Shakespearean plays were widely celebrated on stage. This print not only celebrates Miss Cooper's portrayal of Helena but also pays homage to one of Shakespeare's most beloved comedies. It reminds us of the enduring power of theater and literature to transport us into different worlds and explore timeless themes that resonate across centuries.
