EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving transports us to Act IV, Scene VI of William Shakespeare's timeless tragedy, "King Lear". Created by the talented artist Kenny Meadows in the 19th century, this print captures a pivotal moment in English literature. The scene unfolds with intensity as we witness King Lear's descent into madness. The intricate details of Meadows' engraving bring each character to life on the page. We see Lear standing at the center, his regal attire contrasting with his disheveled appearance and wild expression. His daughters Regan and Goneril stand nearby, their faces filled with disdain and manipulation. Meadows skillfully portrays the emotional turmoil within this climactic scene. The tension is palpable as Lear confronts his own vulnerability and betrayal by those he once trusted most. Through expert shading and delicate lines, every nuance of anguish is etched onto paper. This print was originally created for "The Complete Works of Shakspere" an illustrated edition published in London around 1880. It serves as a testament to both Shakespeare's enduring legacy and Meadows' artistic talent. As we gaze upon this evocative image, we are reminded of the power of Shakespeare's words to transcend time and capture our collective human experience.
