EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Jessica, a character from William Shakespeare's renowned play, The Merchant of Venice. Created around 1910 by James Dromgole Linton, this colour lithograph captures the essence of the story with its vivid hues and intricate details. In this illustration, we see Jessica in her Venetian costume, adorned with an elaborate headdress that adds to her dramatic presence. Positioned on a terrace overlooking the court, she stands tall and confident as judgment is being passed. The composition exudes a sense of anticipation and tension as justice hangs in the balance. The play revolves around themes of justice and comedy, which are beautifully depicted here. As one of the central characters in the narrative, Jessica represents both conflict and transformation within the story. Her father Shylock's pursuit for revenge through his infamous demand for a pound of flesh sets off a chain of events that ultimately leads to unexpected outcomes. Set against the backdrop of Venice's iconic canals and architectural splendor, this image transports us back to Italy during Shakespearean times. It serves as a reminder not only of European history but also highlights universal themes that continue to resonate today. With its rich symbolism and masterful execution by Linton, this print offers viewers an opportunity to delve into one of Shakespeare's most complex plays while appreciating fine artistry at its best.
