So they cast the Queen overboard
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating lithograph print by Louis John Rhead, depicting a dramatic scene from William Shakespeare's play "Pericles". The artwork showcases the intense moment when the Queen is thrown into the unforgiving depths of the sea. Rhead's meticulous attention to detail brings this pivotal moment to life, as we witness the anguish and despair on the Queen's face. Her flowing garments billow in mid-air, capturing her descent into an uncertain fate. The artist skillfully uses light and shadow to create a sense of depth and movement within the composition. This print was created as an illustration for "Tales from Shakespeare" by Charles and Mary Lamb, published in 1918. It serves as a visual representation of one of Shakespeare's most tragic plays, highlighting themes of betrayal, power struggles, and ultimate redemption. The engraving technique employed in this piece adds texture and richness to each stroke, enhancing its overall impact. Rhead masterfully captures both the emotional turmoil experienced by characters in Shakespearean dramas and their timeless relevance. As viewers engage with this powerful image, they are transported into Pericles' world - where treachery lurks at every corner - compelling us to reflect on our own lives and choices. This lithograph stands as a testament to Rhead's artistic prowess while immortalizing one of literature's greatest works through visual storytelling.
