EDITORS COMMENTS
In this lithograph print titled "Now they earnestly beseech him, implore him with tears, to return and save that city" artist Harold Copping transports us into the world of William Shakespeare's play "Timon of Athens". The image depicts a poignant moment where the inhabitants of a besieged city desperately plead for their savior's return. The scene is filled with raw emotion as tearful figures gather around, their faces etched with worry and desperation. Their outstretched hands and bowed heads convey a profound sense of longing and urgency. Through Copping's skilled engraving technique, each character comes to life, evoking empathy from the viewer. This powerful illustration was created for "Tales from Shakespeare" by Mary and Charles Lamb. Published in 1910 by Raphael Tuck, it aimed to introduce young readers to the timeless works of English literature. Copping's artwork beautifully captures one of the most dramatic moments in Shakespearean plays – when hope hangs on a thread and salvation seems uncertain. As we gaze upon this litho print, we are reminded not only of Timon's plight but also our own human vulnerability. It serves as a testament to the enduring power of art in capturing universal emotions that transcend time and place.
