EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a scene from William Shakespeare's Richard II, Act II, Scene 2. The quote, ""If I know how, or which way, to order these affairs, thus thrust disorderly into my hands, never believe me" perfectly encapsulates the chaos and confusion depicted in this image. The artwork showcases an English soldier surrounded by military paraphernalia and documents that have been haphazardly thrown at him. With a humorous twist on the theme of warfare and order, this illustration highlights the challenges faced by soldiers when trying to bring structure to their duties. Printed in vibrant colors by Edmund Evans in the 19th century for Military Misreadings of Shakspere by Major Seccombe (Routledge), this piece beautifully combines elements of theatre and literature. It offers a glimpse into both the literary genius of Shakespeare's plays and the artistic talent of English School during that time. The composition not only emphasizes the soldier's perplexed expression but also conveys a sense of irony through its juxtaposition of disorderliness with military discipline. This image serves as a reminder that even amidst chaos and confusion, there is room for humor and wit. Overall, this print invites viewers to reflect on themes such as order, misinterpretation, and resilience within both military contexts and everyday life.
