Taken from The Complete Works of Shakespeare published by George Harrap & Co Ltd in the 1920s, this image showcases a profound moment in theatrical history. The photograph itself is a work of art, taken by Holbein the Younger, Hans (1497/8-1543), and now part of a private collection. It exudes an air of mystery and intrigue as it portrays Gertrude Demain Hammond (1862-1952) immersed in her role within the world-renowned play. Her expressive eyes convey both vulnerability and strength, perfectly capturing the duality present in Shakespeare's characters. Published during a time when literature was revered and theater held great significance, this piece represents not only an iconic playwright but also an era rich with cultural exploration.
