EDITORS COMMENTS
This vibrant and captivating print captures a scene from William Shakespeare's play "Troilus and Cressida" specifically Act III, Scene 3. The artwork is a colour lithograph created by the English School in the 19th century, now part of a private collection. The image showcases soldiers engaged in military activities, adding an element of warfare to this classic tale. However, what makes this particular illustration unique is its humorous twist. It is taken from Major Seccombe's book titled "Military Misreadings of Shakspere" published by Routledge around 1880. The caption accompanying the artwork quotes one of the characters saying, "I do not strain at the position; it is familiar". This line adds depth to the composition as it reflects on themes such as familiarity, strain, and misinterpretation within both military settings and theatrical performances. Printed in vivid colours by Edmund Evans using his exceptional printing skills, this piece beautifully combines elements of literature and visual artistry. The attention to detail brings out every nuance in facial expressions and body language that conveys emotions felt by Troilus and Cressida during their encounter. Overall, this print offers viewers an intriguing glimpse into Shakespearean literature while incorporating elements of humor and military context. It serves as a reminder that even within serious situations or misunderstandings arise moments that can be seen through a lighter lens.
