EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the 17th century, immersing us in the world of William Shakespeare's Much Ado About Nothing. In Act 3 Scene 3, we meet Dogberry, the Constable of the Watch, who is depicted here alongside his loyal canine companion. The image showcases a fascinating glimpse into Tudor law enforcement practices. The Constable stands tall and proud, donning a chain around his neck that symbolizes his authority. With a firm grip on the leash attached to his trusty dog's collar, he leads with confidence and determination. The monochrome aesthetic adds an air of timelessness to this scene from Shakespearean drama. It transports us back to an era where occupations were defined by duty and honor. The Constable's job was not only to maintain order but also to protect citizens from harm. As we admire this sixteenth-century illustration captured by an unknown artist, we can't help but appreciate how it brings one of Shakespeare's memorable characters to life. This print serves as a reminder of both the enduring power of literature and our fascination with historical professions. Whether you are a fan of Shakespeare or simply intrigued by history, this print offers a window into another time – when men like Dogberry patrolled the streets with their faithful companions at their side.
