介绍（中）	Fuseli对魔术和色情欲望的主题着迷，是莎士比亚的终身信徒，年轻时在苏黎世第一次阅读戏剧。在伦敦定居后，他为约翰·博伊德尔的莎士比亚画廊贡献了画作，该画廊于 1786 年推出，作为由订阅者资助的展览兼印刷出版计划。辛普森的版画再现了傅塞利对《暴风雨》开头的一个场景的概念，普洛斯彼罗惩罚卡利班试图强奸米兰达。徘徊在头顶的精灵爱丽儿准备听从魔术师的命令，海边的石窟用来指示岛屿的环境。标志性的生物被战略性地放置在每个角色附近——米兰达上方的飞蛾，普洛斯彼罗的精灵和猫，以及卡利班旁边的贝类和邪恶的猴子。这种印象来自1852年由纽约牙科医生，作家和艺术学者Shearjashub Spooner带头的美国再版，他获得了Boydell严重磨损的板并对其进行了重新设计。他的纽约版是用厚厚的奶油纸印刷的，左下角的空白处添加了小数字，这是数字 6。
介绍（英）	Fascinated by themes of magic and erotic desire, Fuseli was a life-long devotee of Shakespeare, first reading the plays as a youth in Zurich. After settling in London, he contributed paintings to John Boydell's Shakespeare Gallery, launched in 1786 as an exhibition cum print-publishing scheme funded by subscribers. Simpson's print reproduces Fuseli's conception of a scene near the beginning of "The Tempest," where Prospero punishes Caliban for attempting to rape Miranda. Hovering overhead, the spirit Ariel prepares to do the magician's bidding, with a seaside grotto used to indicate the island setting. Emblematic creatures are placed strategically near each character–a moth above Miranda, sprites and a cat by Prospero, and shell-fish and evil-looking monkey next to Caliban. This impression comes from an 1852 American reissue spearheaded by Shearjashub Spooner, a New York dental surgeon, writer and art scholar who acquired Boydell's heavily worn plates and had them reworked. His New York edition was printed on thick cream paper with small numbers added in the lower left margin, this being number 6.
