EDITORS COMMENTS
This chromolitho print captures a pivotal scene from Shakespeare's renowned play, "King Henry the Fourth, First Part". Act IV, Scene 2 comes to life in vivid detail through the masterful artistry of the English School in the 19th century. The image showcases Prince Henry, also known as Hal, engaging with Falstaff and other characters amidst a backdrop of war-torn Warwickshire. The intensity of the moment is palpable as Hal appears both mad and devilish while being blown away by an unseen force. His disheveled appearance hints at his internal struggle between duty and revelry. Falstaff, one of Shakespeare's most beloved comedic characters, takes center stage in this illustration. Clad in a colorful quilt-like garment that adds an element of whimsy to the scene, Falstaff brings levity to an otherwise intense moment. Every brushstroke beautifully conveys the essence of this iconic play and its complex characters. This print was originally created for "The Complete Works of Shakespeare" by John C Murdoch in 1877 and features illustrations by Kronheim & Co. , showcasing their exceptional talent. As we gaze upon this remarkable artwork from Bridgeman Images' private collection, we are transported into Shakespeare's world—a world filled with intrigue, wit, and unforgettable characters who continue to captivate audiences centuries later.
