EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the title page of a 19th century edition of William Shakespeare's renowned play, "King Richard III". The wood engraving, skillfully crafted by Sir John Gilbert (1817-1897), transports us back to the Elizabethan era with its exquisite detail and artistic finesse. The window depicted in the illustration offers a glimpse into the royal world of King Richard III, whose dramatic story unfolds within these pages. With his regal presence and commanding gaze, Richard III stands as a central figure in this tragic tale of power and betrayal. Surrounded by symbols representing his lineage and authority, such as the crown and scepter, we are reminded of his position as king. Yet lurking beneath this façade is an underlying darkness symbolized by the boar emblem associated with Richard's family name - Plantagenet. As we delve into this historical drama through Shakespeare's masterful words, we encounter other key characters like Prince Edward V and Duke William. Each one plays a crucial role in shaping Richard's destiny. This print not only captures the essence of Shakespearean literature but also serves as a visual testament to Sir John Gilbert's exceptional talent for bringing stories to life through engravings. It is an enchanting piece that invites us to immerse ourselves in the rich tapestry of history and tragedy woven within its pages.
