EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases "Imogen in the Cave (Cymbeline)" by David Desvachez, dating back to around 1870. The image is derived from Charles Knight's renowned publication, "The Works of Shakspere" published by Virtue & Co. Limited in London during the same period. Imogen, a fictional character from Shakespeare's play "Cymbeline" is depicted in this engraving as she discovers herself amidst the ancient caves of Britain. The monochrome artwork beautifully captures the essence of 19th-century England, with its dramatic portrayal of Imogen dressed in traditional attire. As a lady lost within this geographical feature, her vulnerability and strength are palpable through her expressive gaze. David Desvachez skillfully brings together elements of drama and literature into one frame, paying homage to William Shakespeare's timeless works. This print transports us back to an era when theatre played a significant role in British culture and society. Through T Graham's expert engraving technique, every detail comes alive on paper - from the intricate folds of Imogen's dress to the ruggedness of the cave walls surrounding her. It serves as a testament to both Desvachez's artistic vision and Knight & Co. 's commitment to preserving Shakespearean art for generations to come. This remarkable piece offers viewers a glimpse into history while celebrating the enduring power of Shakespearean literature. It reminds us that even centuries later, these characters continue to captivate our imagination and evoke emotions
