EDITORS COMMENTS
This vibrant and captivating lithograph captures a scene from William Shakespeare's play "Alls Well that Ends Well". The image depicts soldiers engaged in warfare, with a touch of humor added to the mix. The caption, taken from Act V, Scene 1 of the play, reads: "But this exceeding posting, day and night, must wear your spirits low". The artwork is part of a private collection and was created by an English School artist in the 19th century. It was printed in colors by Edmund Evans for Major Seccombe's book on Military Misreadings of Shakspere. The illustration showcases soldiers who are exhausted from their constant movement and battle experiences. The use of vivid colors brings life to the scene while emphasizing the weariness felt by these brave warriors. This print not only highlights military misinterpretations but also sheds light on the physical and emotional toll that war takes on individuals. Shakespeare's plays have been reenacted countless times throughout history, making them timeless pieces of literature. This lithograph serves as a visual representation of one such theatrical performance - a theater show or theater performance where actors bring these characters to life. Overall, this print offers viewers an opportunity to delve into Shakespearean literature through artistry while contemplating themes such as endurance, sacrifice, and ultimately finding resolution amidst challenging circumstances – all encapsulated within the phrase "alls well that ends well.
