EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph captures a pivotal scene from William Shakespeare's "The First Part of King Henry IV, Act II, Sc 4". Created by Edmund Joseph Sullivan in the early 20th century, this print showcases his talent for bringing Shakespearean characters to life. The focus of the illustration is Falstaff, one of the play's most beloved and complex figures. In this particular moment, Falstaff recounts an amusing anecdote about his encounter with eleven men. With wit and charm, he describes how he managed to outsmart them all but was eventually forced to pay seven of them. Sullivan masterfully depicts Falstaff's larger-than-life presence as he regales his audience with animated gestures and expressive facial features. As we gaze upon this lithograph, we are transported back in time to the world of Elizabethan theater. The attention to detail in both costume and setting immerses us in the historical context of the play. It serves as a reminder not only of Shakespeare's enduring legacy but also of the rich tapestry that is English literature. This print from Bridgeman Images' private collection is a testament to Sullivan's artistic prowess and his ability to capture the essence of Shakespearean drama. It invites us into a world where words come alive on stage and reminds us why these timeless plays continue to captivate audiences centuries later.
