EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases an exquisite engraving of Cressida, a renowned female heroine from the 19th century play "Troilus and Cressida" by William Shakespeare. Created by Edward John Poynter, a prominent artist of his time, this artwork was originally painted for The Graphic Gallery of Shakespeare's Heroines. The image depicts a moment filled with intrigue and suspense as Cressida exclaims, "How Now! what is the matter? Who was here?". This powerful quote from Act IV, Scene 2 captures the essence of her character's complexity and inner turmoil. With its intricate details and Victorian charm, this engraving transports us back to a time when literature played a significant role in shaping society. It serves as a testament to the enduring influence of Shakespearean works on English literature and history. As we gaze upon this remarkable illustration, we are reminded of Germany's rich cultural heritage as well. Hailing from Bernard Platman Antiquarian Collection, it highlights the connection between German artistry and European traditions. This print not only celebrates the artistic mastery behind Poynter's work but also invites us to delve into the depths of literary imagination. It serves as an homage to both Shakespearean drama and historical engravings that have left an indelible mark on our collective consciousness.
