EDITORS COMMENTS
This vibrant and whimsical print captures a humorous depiction of William Shakespeare in the midst of writing his iconic play, Hamlet. Created by Rene Bull in 1936, this colour lithograph is part of a series of cigarette cards called Howlers, produced for Churchman's. In the image, we see Shakespeare seated at his desk, surrounded by books and with a mischievous cat perched on his shoulder. The playwright appears deep in thought as he holds a quill pen to paper, capturing the essence of his creative process. A spider dangles from its cobweb above him, adding an element of surprise and intrigue. Bull's caricature-style portrayal adds an amusing touch to this scene. With exaggerated features and expressive gestures, it showcases the playful side of one of literature's greatest minds. The use of bold colors further enhances the liveliness and energy emanating from this artwork. As we gaze upon this print, we are reminded not only of Shakespeare's immense talent but also his enduring legacy that continues to captivate audiences centuries later. It serves as a testament to the brilliance behind Hamlet and offers us a glimpse into the mind of an inspired playwright. Whether you're an avid fan or simply appreciate artistic humor, this print is sure to bring joy and spark conversations about one of history's most celebrated literary figures – William Shakespeare himself.
