EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Maynard Brown's exquisite engraving of Ophelia, a tragic character from William Shakespeare's renowned play, Hamlet. The image captures the essence of Ophelia's emotional turmoil and dejection with remarkable precision. In this illustration for The Illustrated London News, dated 28 March 1885, we witness Ophelia surrounded by an array of delicate flowers. Each bloom symbolizes her fragile state of mind and serves as a poignant reminder of her eventual demise. Brown skillfully portrays the complexity of Ophelia's emotions through his meticulous attention to detail and masterful use of light and shadow. As we gaze upon this evocative artwork, we cannot help but be drawn into the world created by Shakespeare's words and brought to life by Brown's artistic interpretation. It is a testament to the enduring power of literature that such images continue to resonate with audiences today.
