Falstaff is Tricked

The first of these two eighteenth-century prints, issued for the publisher John Bell’s edition of Shakespeare’s works, shows Falstaff holding a letter sent to him by the Merry Wives. The second, attributed to Samuel Ireland, father of the notorious Shakespeare fraudster William Henry Ireland, depicts the Merry Wives leading Falstaff to Herne’s Oak for his comeuppance.
