EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a scene from William Shakespeare's play, Henry VI, Part I. The image depicts soldiers in the midst of warfare, their spirits weighed down by the hardships they endure. The quote "My spirit can no longer bear these harms" resonates with the viewer as it reflects the toll that war takes on individuals. The colour lithograph was created by an English School artist in the 19th century and is part of a private collection. It was originally printed in colours by Edmund Evans for Military Misreadings of Shakspere, a book written by Major Seccombe around 1880. The juxtaposition of military misreadings and humour adds an interesting layer to this artwork. It suggests that even in times of great adversity, there is room for levity and jokes among soldiers. This insight into their camaraderie humanizes them and reminds us that they are not just warriors but also individuals with emotions. The use of bears as symbolic animals further enhances the message conveyed in this scene. Bears are known for their strength and resilience, yet even they have limits to what they can bear. This parallel between humans and animals highlights our shared vulnerability when faced with overwhelming challenges. Overall, this thought-provoking image invites viewers to contemplate the impact of war on both body and spirit while offering glimpses of humor amidst hardship.
