EDITORS COMMENTS
This vibrant lithograph captures a scene from William Shakespeare's play "Troilus and Cressida" specifically Act IV, Scene 2. The print depicts two soldiers engaged in a humorous exchange amidst the chaos of war. The title of the artwork, ""My Lord, I scarce have leisure to salute you, " perfectly encapsulates the comical nature of this moment. The image showcases an English School's interpretation of the scene, created in the 19th century. It is part of a private collection and was printed in colors by Edmund Evans. This particular illustration was featured in Major Seccombe's book "Military Misreadings of Shakspere" published by Routledge around 1880. The soldiers depicted seem to be caught off guard as they engage in banter while on duty. Their lighthearted conversation contrasts with their serious military attire, adding an element of irony to the composition. This juxtaposition highlights how even during times of intense warfare, humor can find its way into unexpected places. The artwork not only celebrates Shakespearean literature but also provides insight into how his works were interpreted and appreciated during different time periods. It serves as a reminder that art has always been influenced by societal contexts and individual perspectives. Overall, this lithograph invites viewers to appreciate both the wit found within Shakespeare's plays and the artistic interpretations that bring these timeless stories to life through visual mediums like color lithography.
