EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving transports us back to the 19th century, where we catch a glimpse of a young William Shakespeare in an unexpected form. The image depicts the Bard as a school-boy, highlighting his early years and perhaps hinting at the foundation that shaped his illustrious career. The scene unfolds within the walls of a school building, evoking an atmosphere of education and learning. Surrounded by other boys, this young Shakespeare stands out with his unmistakable presence. His youthful face exudes curiosity and intelligence, offering a glimpse into the mind that would later revolutionize literature. The artist's skillful use of lines brings depth to this historic illustration. Every stroke captures not only the physical likeness but also conveys a sense of history and timelessness. It is as if we are witnessing Shakespeare's essence being etched onto paper. This print was originally created for "Visits to Remarkable Places" by William Howitt in 1888, showcasing Samuel Williams' talent as an illustrator. Now preserved in private collection, it serves as a reminder of how even great literary figures like Shakespeare had humble beginnings. As we gaze upon this enchanting portrayal, we are reminded of the power of education and its ability to shape extraordinary individuals. This engraving invites us to reflect on our own journeys through schooling while paying homage to one of history's greatest playwrights – William Shakespeare himself.
