EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Scene, Lawn before the Dukes Palace; Orlando about to engage with Charles, the Dukes Wrestler" transports us back in time to a moment of intense anticipation and excitement. Created by Edmond Morin in 1824-82, this print captures a scene from William Shakespeare's play "As You Like It". The image showcases a lush green lawn before the grandeur of the Duke's palace. In the foreground, we see Orlando preparing himself for an imminent confrontation with Charles, known as the Duke's wrestler. The tension is palpable as both men stand poised for battle. Surrounding them are jesters and onlookers eagerly awaiting this clash of strength and skill. Their presence adds an element of liveliness to the scene while also highlighting the theatrical nature of this encounter. Morin's meticulous attention to detail brings every blade of grass to life and imbues each character with their own distinct personality. Through his masterful engraving technique, he manages to convey not only physicality but also emotions that run deep within these characters. This artwork was originally created as an illustration for The Illustrated London News in June 1855. Its inclusion in literary publications allowed readers at that time to visually immerse themselves in Shakespearean tales. Today, this print serves as a testament to both Morin's artistic prowess and Shakespeare's enduring influence on literature and visual arts alike.
