介绍（中）	班伯里的《莎士比亚》由二十幅版画组成，于1792年至1797年间出版，每四幅定期发行。出版商托马斯·麦克林（Thomas Macklin）受到了博伊尔莎士比亚画廊（Boydell’s Shakespeare Gallery）的成功启发，于1787年开设了一家与之竞争的诗人画廊。然后，他委托班伯里制作了一套大型水彩画，其中包括莎士比亚的漫画主题，以及订阅发行的相关版画。这位艺术家是一个老贵族家庭的小儿子，他曾在伦敦威斯敏斯特学校（Westminster School）和剑桥大学（Cambridge University）用漫画画逗乐同学。他成为托马斯·罗兰森的朋友，罗兰森蚀刻了许多班伯里的设计。然而，班伯里的大部分收入来自军队职位和约克公爵的资助，他曾担任骑师。莎士比亚系列的水彩画是这位艺术家最有野心的作品之一，很快就属于约克公爵夫人。弗朗切斯科·巴托洛齐（Francesco Bartolozzi）的追随者米歇尔·班尼迪（Michele Bennditi）制作了这幅点画，描绘了《温莎的快乐妻子》（the Merry Wives of Windsor）结尾处的一个著名场景。他希望引诱他们，但不知道他们精心策划的计划，以抵挡他反复的、不受欢迎的关注。
介绍（英）	Bunbury's "Shakespeare" consisted of twenty-prints published between 1792 and 1797, issued periodically in sets of four. The publisher Thomas Macklin was inspired by the success of Boydell's Shakespeare Gallery to open a rival Poets Gallery in 1787. He then commissioned a set of large watercolors from Bunbury of comic Shakesperean subjects with related prints issued by subscription. The artist was the younger son in an old gentry family who had amused fellow students with comic drawings at Westminster School in London, then at Cambridge University. He became a friend of Thomas Rowlandson, who etched many Bunbury designs. Most of Bunbury's income came, however, from army positions and the patronage of the Duke of York, whom he served as equerry. The Shakespeare series of watercolors rank among the artist's most ambitious and soon belonged to the Duchess of York. Michele Bennediti, a follower of Francesco Bartolozzi, produced this stipple engraving of a famous scene near the end of "The Merry Wives of Windsor." The housewives Mrs. Ford and Mrs. Page have arranged to meet Falstaff in Windsor Forest at night. He hopes to seduce them, and is unaware of their elaborate scheme to fend off his repeated and unwelcome attentions.
