EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph, titled "God-a-mercy, good fellow" transports us to the legendary world of Robin Hood. Created by Louis John Rhead in the late 19th century, this print captures a pivotal moment from the classic tale. In this scene, we witness Robin Hood himself engaging in conversation with a mysterious figure. With his bow and arrow resting against a tree trunk, Robin curiously asks for the stranger's name. The tension is palpable as both characters lock eyes, their expressions hinting at an imminent adventure. Rhead's meticulous attention to detail brings this medieval setting to life. From the lush forest backdrop to the intricate engravings on each character's attire, every element contributes to an immersive experience. The artist skillfully uses light and shadow to enhance the drama of this encounter. Sunlight filters through dense foliage, casting dappled patterns on Robin Hood's face while leaving parts of his companion shrouded in mystery. This lithograph was originally created as an illustration for Bold Robin Hood (Harper, 1912), showcasing Rhead's ability to capture not only action but also emotion within his artwork. As we gaze upon this print today, it serves as a reminder of our fascination with timeless tales and heroic figures like Robin Hood – those who fight for justice and inspire us all.
