EDITORS COMMENTS
This print transports us back to the streets of Venice in Act III, Scene I of William Shakespeare's renowned play, "The Merchant of Venice". The illustration beautifully captures the meeting between two pivotal characters - Shylock and Tubal. As we gaze upon this scene, we witness a moment charged with tension and intrigue. Shylock, the Jewish moneylender, stands tall and proud in his traditional attire while Tubal approaches him with an air of familiarity. The artist skillfully portrays their contrasting personalities through their body language and expressions. The bustling street serves as a backdrop for this encounter, adding depth to the narrative. We can almost hear the murmurs of passersby as they observe this unexpected rendezvous between two individuals from different worlds. Shakespeare's masterful storytelling comes alive in this engraving from 1890. It not only highlights the complexities within human relationships but also explores themes such as prejudice and greed that are still relevant today. This evocative print is a testament to English literature's enduring legacy. It invites us to delve into the world created by Shakespeare centuries ago – a world filled with vivid characters like Shylock and Tubal who continue to captivate audiences worldwide.
