EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Come now on a roundel, Illustration from A Midsummer Nights Dream" transports viewers into the enchanting world of William Shakespeare's beloved comedy play. Created by Arthur Rackham in 1908, this color lithograph beautifully captures a pivotal scene from the play. In this illustration, we witness a mesmerizing dance taking place in an ethereal forest. The movement and grace of the dancers evoke a sense of otherworldly magic and mystery. The fairy characters, with their delicate wings and fantastical costumes, add to the whimsical atmosphere. The setting itself is shrouded in enchantment - a wooded area filled with towering trees and mystical roots that seem to come alive under the moonlit sky. It is within these woods that Shakespeare's characters embark on their misadventures, driven by love potions and manipulated by mischievous fairies. One cannot help but be drawn into this fantastical realm as they gaze upon this print. The intricate details bring out every element of Shakespeare's vivid imagination - from Queen Titania perched atop a mushroom throne to the formation of dancers moving harmoniously in a circular pattern known as "roundel". This print serves as both an homage to one of Shakespeare's most popular works for the stage and an invitation for viewers to immerse themselves in its magical narrative. It encapsulates all that makes A Midsummer Night's Dream timeless - its whimsy, its romance, and above all else, its ability to transport us into realms beyond our own reality.
