EDITORS COMMENTS
This vibrant lithograph captures a humorous moment from Shakespeare's renowned play, Hamlet. Titled ""Oh Hamlet, what a falling off was there!"Hamlet, Act I, Scene 5" this print showcases the wit and creativity of the English School in the 19th century. The scene depicted here is inspired by Major Seccombe's book "Military Misreadings of Shakspere". The illustration brings to life an amusing misinterpretation of one of Hamlet's famous lines. Soldiers are seen gathered around, with expressions ranging from confusion to amusement as they witness this comical misunderstanding. Printed in vivid colors by Edmund Evans, every detail in this artwork adds to its charm and liveliness. The soldiers' uniforms and facial expressions are meticulously portrayed, capturing their surprise at the unexpected turn of events. This print not only highlights the military theme but also pays homage to English literature and theater. It serves as a reminder that even within serious contexts like warfare, humor can find its way into people's lives. As we gaze upon this image from our private collection, we are reminded once again of Shakespeare's timeless brilliance and his ability to entertain audiences across centuries. This print is a delightful representation of how art can bring together different aspects of culture – literature, history, and comedy – all within one frame.
