EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a moment in the life of William Shakespeare, as he ventures into a bustling mercer's shop in London. The renowned playwright is seen immersed in the world of fashion, seeking to replace his traditional ruff with one of the new and stylish falling collars that are gaining popularity. The image transports us back to an era where shopping for clothes was not just a necessity but also an opportunity for self-expression. Shakespeare, known for his eloquence on stage, now finds himself carefully selecting the perfect collar that will reflect his evolving taste and perhaps even influence others. The vibrant colors of this lithograph bring to life the vibrant street scene outside the shop, hinting at a busy daily routine filled with people from all walks of life. As we observe Shakespeare amidst bolts of cloth and shelves adorned with various materials, we can't help but imagine what other aspects of his wardrobe he may be considering. This biographical snapshot offers a glimpse into both Shakespeare's personal life and the changing trends within Elizabethan society. It reminds us that even great literary figures like him were not immune to societal shifts or indulging in everyday activities such as shopping for clothes. With its attention to detail and historical accuracy, this print by Hatherell invites us to step into Shakespeare's world - where creativity intertwines with commerce on London streets - making it an intriguing addition to any collection.
