Shakespeare Weekend

The Plays of Shakespeare was published by Cassell, Petter, Galpin & Co., likely in the late 1860s or early 1870s and consists of three volumes each arranging the plays into comedies, histories, and tragedies with many illustrations as Cassell's Illustrated Shakespeare. Englishman John Cassell (1817-1865) was a tea and coffee merchant who pivoted into publishing in 1848 with the weekly newspaper The Standard of Freedom and expanded to the Illustrated Family Paper in 1853. When Cassell was unexpectedly called to pay back an advancement to his paper supplier, he turned to printing firm partners George Petter (1823-1888) and Thomas Galpin (1828-1910) for financial support. The three men went into a full partnership in 1859 and found great success in publishing illustrated editions of classic literature, including the popular Illustrated Family Bible. 

It is from their illustration craze that The Plays of Shakespeare was born. Edited and annotated by Charles (1787-1877) and Mary Cowden Clark (1809-1898) and illustrated with wood engravings from drawings by H.C. Selous (1803-1890), the three-volume collection is brimming with detailed illustrations of the plays geared toward families and young readers. Volume Two contains Shakespeare’s historical plays.

Magnificent Musketeer Tournament

Athos Poll 1 - Round 1

Athos - John Malkovich The Man in the Iron Mask 1998

He's SO. SCRUNGLY. Wet, sad, and so, so hot. I love when he gets angry and Malkovich does that wavering thing with his voice, like its constantly about to break.

Athos - Heino Ferch D’Artagnan et les Trois Mousquetaires 2005

[no text propaganda submitted]

Athos - Vincent Cassel Les Trois Mousquetaires: D'Artagnan 2023, Les Trois Mousquetaires: Milady 2023

Literally exactly how I've always pictured Athos (yes I KNOW he's technically like 30 but let's be real he has always had old man energy), and just perfect Athos energy. Wise and fatherly towards d'Artagnan, but he still has that musketeer spark (god that FIGHT against the Cardinal's guards, that man can MOVE!!). I could picture him locking himself in the wine cellar of an inn and drinking his way through 150 bottles of wine, which is the real measure of a good Athos.

The complete list of entrants can be found here.

Vincent Cassel:

I love everything about this Version! His long hair (but also the shorter hair) the blue eyes 😍 i also love that he is a bit older than the other versions. He gives me the vibes of a majestic Wolf 🐺 and the scene in the Forest with Milady .. you could see his other side full of sorrow and regret 😭 i Just wanted to give him a big tight hug 😭💕

Received some very nice photos today, related to John Cassavetes's director work, from "Minnie and Moskowitz" and "A Woman under the Influence." Plus, a photo of John, from "Machine Gun McCain."
