EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph print by Eleanor Fortescue-Brickdale transports us into the enchanting world of Shakespeare's "A Midsummer Night's Dream". Titled "Bottom and Titania: 'Come sit thee down on this flowery bed'" the artwork captures a pivotal moment in the play. In this scene, we witness Bottom, transformed into an ass by the mischievous Puck, reclining on a bed of vibrant flowers. The ethereal fairy queen Titania gazes upon him with fascination and tenderness. The costumes worn by both characters are intricately detailed, evoking a sense of whimsy and magic. The woodland setting adds to the dreamlike atmosphere, as if we have stumbled upon their secret rendezvous deep within an enchanted forest. The delicate petals and lush foliage surrounding them create a visual feast for our eyes. Fortescue-Brickdale's skillful engraving technique brings out every nuance of emotion in Bottom and Titania's expressions. We can almost feel the weightlessness of their bodies as they surrender to the allure of love under nature's spell. This litho print is part of "The Golden Book of Famous Women" published around 1920. It serves as a testament to Fortescue-Brickdale's talent for capturing timeless moments from literature through her artistry. As we gaze at this image, we are reminded once again why Shakespeare continues to captivate audiences across generations with his tales of love, mischief, and transformation.
