EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the woodcut illustration of "Venus and Adonis" from The Poems of William Shakespeare, published by Kelmscott Press in 1893. Created by the renowned artist William Morris, this exquisite piece is housed in the Biblioteca de Catalunya in Barcelona, Spain. The woodcut depicts a scene from Shakespeare's poem written in 1594, where Venus, the goddess of love, pleads with Adonis to stay with her instead of going hunting. The intricate design features a floral motif border and foliated elements that reflect Morris' signature style influenced by the Arts and Crafts movement. The attention to detail is remarkable as every line and curve brings life to this historic tale. The historiated letter 'E' at the beginning of the text adds an extra touch of elegance to this artistic masterpiece. Morris's woodcut not only captures the essence of Shakespeare's poetry but also serves as a testament to his own talent as a designer. It exemplifies his dedication to reviving traditional craftsmanship during a time when mass production was becoming increasingly prevalent. This print allows us to appreciate both Morris's artistry and Shakespeare's timeless words. It is an enchanting fusion of literature and visual arts that continues to inspire admirers around the world.
