EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo print, we are transported back in time to Cheapside, London, where the great playwright William Shakespeare finds himself captivated by the sight of fine horses. The image, a colour lithograph created by artist William Hatherell in the late 19th century, beautifully captures Shakespeare's admiration for these majestic creatures. As we gaze upon this scene from a bygone era, we can almost hear the clip-clop of hooves on cobblestone streets and feel the energy that permeated through bustling Cheapside. Shakespeare stands amidst a sea of carriages and pedestrians, his eyes fixed on the magnificent horses before him. It is as if he has momentarily paused from his literary pursuits to indulge in this momentary diversion. The composition exudes an air of biographical authenticity, offering us a glimpse into Shakespeare's daily life and interests beyond his renowned plays and sonnets. Here he is not just the celebrated playwright but also an admirer of beauty in all its forms - even those found within London's vibrant streets. This rare scan of a small original adds to the charm and intimacy of the image. It invites us to lean closer and immerse ourselves in every intricate detail captured by Hatherell's skilled hand. Through this remarkable piece from Bridgeman Images' private collection, we are reminded that even geniuses like Shakespeare find inspiration outside their chosen craft – be it through nature or simply admiring fine horses on a busy street corner.
