"Mr Macready as Hamlet and Mr Stuart as The Ghost, Act I Scene 5, in Hamlet by William Shakespeare 1564-1616 engraved by George Hollis 1792-1842 by Alexander Reid" is a notable engraving that captures a pivotal moment from William Shakespeare's iconic tragedy, "Hamlet." This artwork features two prominent 19th-century actors, William Charles Macready and James Stuart, in the roles of Hamlet and the Ghost, respectively. The engraving was executed by George Hollis, a distinguished engraver of the period, and is based on a painting by Alexander Reid.

William Charles Macready (1793-1873) was a renowned English actor and theatre manager, celebrated for his interpretations of Shakespearean roles. His portrayal of Hamlet was particularly acclaimed for its emotional depth and intellectual rigor. James Stuart, another respected actor of the time, brought a haunting presence to the role of the Ghost, Hamlet's father. Their performances in this scene, Act I, Scene 5, are immortalized in this engraving, which depicts the intense and dramatic encounter between Hamlet and the spectral apparition of his father.

George Hollis, the engraver, was known for his skill in capturing the essence of theatrical performances and translating them into detailed and expressive prints. His work on this piece is no exception, as it vividly conveys the tension and supernatural atmosphere of the scene. Alexander Reid, the original artist, provided a compelling visual interpretation that Hollis meticulously engraved, ensuring that the dramatic intensity of the moment was preserved.

This engraving not only serves as a testament to the talents of Macready and Stuart but also highlights the collaborative efforts of artists and engravers in the 19th century to bring theatrical performances to a wider audience. It remains a valuable piece of art history, offering insight into the visual culture of Shakespearean theatre during that era.
