Angelo's House–Escalus, a Justice, Elbow, Froth, Clown, Officers, etc. (Shakespeare, Measure for Measure, Act 2, Scene 1), April 23, 1798, Stipple engraving, Image: 17 1/2 x 23 3/8 in. ( x cm), Prints, After Robert Smirke (British, Wigton, Cumberland 1752/53–1845 London), Offering humorous relief to a dark discussion of justice in Shakespeare's 'Measure for Measure,' Escalus judges two foolish characters--the tapster Froth, and clownish bawd Pompey. They have been brought to court by Elbow, a constable who stands at right, and the engraving reproduces Smirke's painting now in the collection of the Royal Shakespeare Theatre at Stratford-upon-Avon
