EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print titled "Viola: Yet A Barful Strife! Whoe er I Woo, Myself Would Be His Wife" we are transported to the world of Shakespeare's Twelfth Night. The year is 1923, and artist W Heath Robinson brings Viola's story to life with his exquisite watercolour drawing. The scene depicts a shipwreck on treacherous rocks, symbolizing the turmoil that Viola finds herself in. As she emerges from the crashing waves, her determination to survive shines through. Her twin brother Sebastian may be lost, but she refuses to let despair consume her. With a sense of adventure and resilience, Viola steps onto unfamiliar land, ready to explore what lies ahead. The darkness of night surrounds her as she contemplates her next move. In this moment of contemplation, we can almost feel the weight of her thoughts and emotions. Robinson's attention to detail is evident in every stroke of his brush. From the intricate patterns on Viola's dress to the carefully crafted weaponry at her side, each element adds depth and richness to the composition. This print not only captures a pivotal moment in literature but also serves as a testament to British book illustration during the early 20th century. It invites us into an enchanting world where artistry meets storytelling and reminds us of William Shakespeare's timeless genius.
