EDITORS COMMENTS
John Philip Kemble, a renowned English actor of the late 18th and early 19th centuries, is depicted in this print as he brings to life the infamous character of Richard III from William Shakespeare's eponymous play. The image captures Kemble in the midst of delivering one of the most iconic soliloquies from the play, "I am in," as Richard III confesses his guilt and ambition for the throne. Born on October 14, 1757, Kemble began his acting career in 1773 at the Drury Lane Theatre in London. He quickly gained recognition for his versatility and depth of emotion in his performances, and was particularly admired for his portrayal of Shakespearean characters. Kemble's interpretation of Richard III is considered one of the most memorable in the history of the play, and his influence on the role has been felt by actors who have taken on the part ever since. The print, which dates from the late 18th or early 19th century, offers a glimpse into the world of Shakespearean theatre during this period. The elaborate costumes, the expressive facial features, and the dramatic lighting all serve to transport us back in time and immerse us in the rich history of the stage. John Philip Kemble's legacy as a Shakespearean actor continues to be celebrated to this day. His commitment to the craft, his ability to connect with audiences, and his dedication to bringing Shakespeare's characters to life have left an indelible mark on the history of the theatre. This print serves as a testament to his talent and enduring influence.
