EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph captures a pivotal moment from Shakespeare's timeless tragedy, Macbeth. Act I, Scene 5 comes to life in this black and white illustration by the English School of the 19th century. The print is part of a private collection and was originally created as an illustration for Tales from Shakespeare by Charles and Mary Lamb. The scene depicted in this litho showcases Lady Macbeth reading her husband's letter that reveals his encounter with the three witches and their prophecy. Her expression reflects a mix of ambition, intrigue, and determination as she contemplates the possibilities that lie ahead. This powerful image perfectly encapsulates Lady Macbeth's influential role in shaping the tragic events that unfold throughout the play. Printed using gravure printing techniques, this artwork exudes a sense of depth and texture while maintaining its monochromatic charm. It is one of twelve illustrations featured in permanent photography from the Boydell Gallery, published by Bickers in 1899. As we gaze upon this lithograph, we are transported back to the early 19th century theater scene where reenactments of Shakespeare's plays were eagerly anticipated events. The attention to detail captured through lithography allows us to appreciate both the artistry behind this piece and its historical significance within theatrical culture. With its dramatic composition and evocative portrayal of one of literature's most complex characters, this print serves as a testament to William Shakespeare's enduring legacy on stage and page alike.
