EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a dramatic scene from Shakespeare's "As You Like It" - Rosalind fainting. The color lithograph, created by an English School artist in the 20th century, showcases the exquisite costumes and historical charm of this theatrical moment. In this postcard-sized artwork, we witness Rosalind, a female character dressed as a boy named Ganymede, collapsing in a state of weakness. She is supported by Celia while surrounded by shepherdesses and shepherds who are adorned in medieval attire. The romantic atmosphere adds to the allure of this scene. The illustration beautifully portrays the cross-dressing theme prevalent throughout the play. It highlights Rosalind's transformation into Ganymede and her exploration of love and identity within this disguise. This image serves as a visual reminder of the complexities and nuances found within Shakespearean works. With its attention to detail and historical accuracy, this postcard-like print transports us back to an era where stage performances were filled with grandeur and emotion. It not only captures a pivotal moment in "As You Like It" but also evokes curiosity about other biblical scenes or stories depicted during that time. Overall, this stunning artwork offers viewers an opportunity to appreciate both William Shakespeare's timeless play and the artistic talent behind its visual representation.
