EDITORS COMMENTS
This vibrant and captivating lithograph captures a scene from William Shakespeare's "Comedy of Errors". Act I, Scene 2. The image depicts soldiers engaged in a theatrical reenactment, bringing humor and military jokes to the forefront. The quote accompanying the print reads, ""He that commends me to mine own content, commends me to the thing I cannot get. " These words reflect the essence of this comedic play as characters strive for fulfillment but find themselves entangled in a web of mistaken identities. Printed in colors by Edmund Evans, this artwork beautifully showcases the rich palette used during the 19th century. It is part of a private collection and was originally created as an illustration for Major Seccombe's book "Military Misreadings of Shakspere" published by Routledge around 1880. The juxtaposition between warfare and theater performance adds depth to this piece. It highlights how soldiers found solace and entertainment through plays even amidst their challenging circumstances. This lithograph serves as a reminder that even in times of conflict, laughter can provide respite and joy. As we admire this print from Fine Art Finder, we are transported back in time to witness both the power of Shakespeare's words and their enduring impact on English literature.
