EDITORS COMMENTS
This black and white lithograph from 1890 transports us back to the tragic world of Shakespeare's King Lear. The image, part of a private collection, captures the essence of this timeless play with its intense portrayal of an elderly and bearded Lear. The English School artist skillfully conveys the weight of Lear's royal burden through his weathered face and windswept hair. As we gaze upon this print, we can almost feel the turmoil within Lear's soul as he grapples with power, betrayal, and madness. The artist's attention to detail is evident in every stroke; even the garland of flowers adorning Lear's head seems to reflect his inner turmoil. This lithograph was originally published in London in 1890 as part of "The Illustrated Library Shakespeare". It serves as a testament to both William Shakespeare's enduring legacy and the artistic talent that brought his characters to life over centuries. While this particular image does not mention commercial use or any specific company, it stands on its own as a powerful representation of tragedy and royalty. Whether you are a lover of fine art or a devotee of Shakespearean literature, this print offers a glimpse into one man's descent into madness amidst familial strife – an eternal story that continues to captivate audiences worldwide.
