EDITORS COMMENTS
This vibrant and captivating print captures a scene from William Shakespeare's Richard III, Act II, Scene 2. The image showcases the essence of military misreadings with a touch of humor. In this theatrical moment, every horse bears its commanding rein, allowing each soldier to direct their course as they please. The color lithograph was created by an English School artist in the 19th century and is now part of a private collection. It beautifully illustrates the famous quote from the play: "Where every horse bears his commanding rein, and may direct his course as please himself". This line reflects the power dynamics within warfare and emphasizes individual agency amidst chaos. Printed in colors by Edmund Evans, this artwork perfectly complements Major Seccombe's book on Military Misreadings of Shakspere published around 1880. The image not only adds visual appeal but also enhances readers' understanding of these misinterpretations through its vivid depiction. As we delve into this scene filled with soldiers, horses take center stage as symbols of strength and determination. They represent both wildlife and farm animals while embodying loyalty to their riders during times of conflict. Overall, this print offers a glimpse into one particular moment in English literature where theater meets military strategy. Its lively portrayal invites viewers to appreciate Shakespeare's timeless words while highlighting the importance of clear communication even in times of war.
