Antique Print,  Taming of the Shrew, Shakespeare, 1892 Romance Fiction Art (AR-A532)
 
This antique print depicts a scene from William Shakespeare's play, The Taming of the Shrew, specifically Act 5, Scene 2, which takes place during a celebratory banquet following the marriage of Lucentio and Bianca. 
The central moment captured is the bet proposed by Petruchio to Lucentio and Hortensio, challenging whose wife will be most obedient. 
Katherina, previously known as the "shrew," demonstrates her newfound obedience by readily coming when called by Petruchio, surprising the other characters, especially her father, Baptista, who is so astonished by her obedience that he offers Petruchio an additional dowry. 
The scene culminates with Katherina delivering a lecture to Bianca and the Widow on the virtues of wifely submission and obedience to their husbands. 

Also included is the tissue paper covering with a brief description of the scene.
This is an original,  not a reproduction. It came from a destroyed 1st edition book published in 1892 by Selmar Hess called Character Sketches of Romance Fiction and Drama. There is some damage, aging to the bound side of the print. All prints are either wood engravings, etchings, photogravure, or typogravure.
