EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print titled "Henrik Ibsen, Receiving Mr William Archer in Audience, 1904" artist Max Beerbohm captures a unique moment of literary history. Set in the early 20th century, the image showcases an audience scene between two prominent figures: Henrik Ibsen and William Archer. Ibsen, the renowned Norwegian playwright, is depicted as a grumpy yet respected figure sitting on his throne-like chair. On the other hand, Archer, a British critic and writer known for his deep admiration of Ibsen's work, is shown kneeling before him with an expression of reverence and awe. Beerbohm's vibrant colors bring life to this cartoonish illustration from The Poets Corner. The concept behind this artwork lies within the humorous caricature that portrays Archer literally worshipping at the feet of his idolized poet. This print not only highlights the occupation and profession of these influential men but also touches upon themes such as religion and worship within artistic circles. It offers a glimpse into both their personalities and their contributions to literature during this period. As we delve into this snapshot from history through Beerbohm's lens, it becomes clear that it represents more than just a meeting between two individuals—it symbolizes the profound impact that writers like Ibsen had on their contemporaries.
