EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a pivotal moment in Shakespeare's Measure for Measure, Act II Scene 2. Illustrated by Norman Mills Price in 1905, this colour lithograph is part of the renowned Tales from Shakespeare collection by Charles and Mary Lamb. The image depicts Isabel's pleading, showcasing her as the courageous and virtuous heroine of the story. Kneeling before Angelo, she implores him with all her might to show mercy and spare her brother's life. The composition beautifully portrays Isabel's desperation and determination as she begs for justice. Isabel's character is one of great complexity - a nun-in-training torn between her religious vows and familial loyalty. In this scene, she confronts Angelo, who plays the villainous role in the play. With every ounce of strength within her, Isabel pleads for clemency while challenging his abuse of power. The artist masterfully captures the intensity of this dramatic encounter through his use of color and expression. The viewer can feel Isabel's unwavering resolve as well as Angelo's conflicted emotions. This powerful portrayal reminds us why William Shakespeare remains an iconic figure in literature today. It encapsulates the timeless themes explored throughout his works - morality, justice, power dynamics - while highlighting Isabella as one of his most compelling female characters. Displayed within private collections worldwide, this print serves as a constant reminder that even in our darkest moments, we must find courage to stand up against injustice and fight for what we believe is right.
