EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a pivotal moment from William Shakespeare's play, Richard III. In Act I, Scene II, we witness the intriguing encounter between Richard and Lady Anne. The engraving by James Dawson Watson beautifully brings this scene to life. The image showcases Lady Anne standing before Richard, who is famously portrayed as a hunchbacked figure. Their body language suggests tension and conflict as they engage in a powerful exchange of words. Lady Anne's expression reflects her initial disdain for Richard, while his cunning demeanor hints at his manipulative nature. Watson's attention to detail is evident in every stroke of the engraving. The intricate costumes and regal setting transport us back to medieval England, immersing us in the world of Shakespearean drama. This print was originally created for Austin Brereton's book "Shakespearian Scenes and Characters" published by Cassell in 1886. It serves as an enduring testament to the timeless appeal of Shakespeare's works and their ability to captivate audiences across generations. As we gaze upon this remarkable artwork, we are reminded of the power of literature and theater to evoke emotions and provoke thought. It invites us to delve into the complex characters and themes that have made Shakespeare one of history's greatest playwrights.
