The production took place at the Prince's Theatre in Manchester between 1896 and 1903. These designs reflect the Victorian era's fascination with fairy tales and the supernatural, a theme that was prevalent in the arts and literature of the time. Wilhelm's work captures the ethereal and whimsical qualities of the fairy characters in Shakespeare's play, contributing to the visual storytelling and the overall magical atmosphere of the production.

The costumes designed by Wilhelm were for the characters of the fairy realm, which play a central role in the comedy's narrative. The designs would have been instrumental in bringing to life the enchanted forest setting of the play, where much of the action takes place. During this period, theatrical productions often relied heavily on elaborate costumes and sets to impress audiences, and Wilhelm's designs would have been no exception.

Robert Courtneidge was a prominent theatre manager and producer in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, known for his successful productions of light operas and plays. His choice of C. Wilhelm as a costume designer for "A Midsummer Night's Dream" would have been a significant aspect of the production's creative process, influencing the visual impact of the performance on the audience.

The Prince's Theatre in Manchester, which hosted this production, was a key venue for theatrical performances in the city during this era. The theatre provided a stage for both classical and contemporary works, contributing to Manchester's cultural scene.

The "Four Fairy Costumes for A Midsummer Night's Dream" are an example of the collaborative nature of theatre, where the visual elements created by artists like C.
