EDITORS COMMENTS
This chromolitho print transports us to Act IV, Scene 1 of Shakespeare's play "King John". Created by the English School in the 19th century, this artwork is part of a private collection. The scene depicted here is from an edition of "The Complete Works of Shakespeare" published in 1877 and illustrated by Kronheim & Co. In this dramatic moment, we witness King John and Arthur engaged in a tense exchange. Their eyes meet as they confront each other with pleading expressions. King John's cut tongue symbolizes his broken promise while Arthur braces himself for what lies ahead. The power dynamics between these two characters are palpable as their tongues become instruments of persuasion and manipulation. Hubert, another character present in the scene, observes this intense interaction with a sense of trepidation. His presence adds depth to the narrative unfolding before our eyes. This print not only captures the essence of this pivotal scene but also showcases the mastery of Kronheim & Co. 's illustrations. Their attention to detail brings Shakespeare's words to life on paper. As admirers of English literature and fine art alike, we are fortunate to have access to such remarkable pieces that allow us glimpses into timeless plays like "King John". This image serves as a testament to both Shakespeare's enduring legacy and the artistic talent that continues to bring his works alive for generations to come.
