EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a moment of intrigue and conflict from William Shakespeare's Much Ado about Nothing. The quote, "I looked upon her with a soldier's eye, that liked but had a rougher task in hand" perfectly encapsulates the tension depicted in this scene. The image portrays a soldier gazing at a woman, torn between his attraction towards her and the difficult mission he must undertake. The vibrant colors of the lithograph bring to life the humor and complexity of military misreadings within Shakespeare's plays. Printed by Edmund Evans in the 19th century, this artwork is part of a private collection and serves as an illustration for Major Seccombe's book on Military Misreadings of Shakspere. It showcases how soldiers often found themselves caught between duty and desire when encountering love amidst warfare. The composition beautifully captures the essence of English literature through its portrayal of conflicting emotions. It highlights both the vulnerability and strength inherent in soldiers who face challenging tasks while navigating matters of the heart. With its rich historical context and artistic execution, this print invites viewers to delve into Shakespearean drama while contemplating themes such as duty, love, and human nature.
