EDITORS COMMENTS
In this lithograph, we are transported back in time to witness the iconic playwright William Shakespeare in action. With a commanding presence, he stands center stage, holding the curtain and urging us to be silent. His finger pressed against his lips serves as a gentle reminder of the importance of quietude when experiencing the magic of theater. Dressed in an elegant cloak that drapes over his shoulders, Shakespeare exudes an air of authority and wisdom. His eyes gaze intently into the distance, perhaps envisioning the unfolding drama that awaits behind him. A neatly trimmed moustache adorns his upper lip, adding to his distinguished appearance. This portrait captures not only Shakespeare's physical features but also hints at his role as both performer and director. It is evident that he takes great pride in supervising every aspect of his plays, ensuring they are executed flawlessly on stage. The lithograph was created by Edmund Joseph Sullivan for Shakespeares Histories and Poems published by J M Dent in 1912. Through this artwork, Sullivan brings to life one of literature's greatest figures - a man whose words continue to resonate through centuries. As we admire this print from our private collection today, let us pay homage to William Shakespeare's enduring legacy and remember the power of silence when immersing ourselves in theatrical wonders like those he crafted so masterfully.
