EDITORS COMMENTS
This illustration, titled 'Troilus and Cressida' by William Shakespeare, is a visual masterpiece created by the talented Kenny Meadows in the early Victorian era, around 1840. The illustration is an accompaniment to the text of one of Shakespeare's lesser-known plays, which tells the tragic love story set against the backdrop of the Trojan War. The scene depicted in the illustration introduces the play with an intriguing tableau. A large, imposing Trojan horse stands at the center, symbolizing the infamous Greek ruse that led to the fall of Troy. Surrounding the horse are a group of anxious Trojan warriors, their faces etched with concern and uncertainty, as they ponder the ominous presence of the Greek gift. In the foreground, the beautiful Cressida, with her long, flowing locks and expressive eyes, gazes out at the scene with a mixture of fear and curiosity. Troilus, the besotted Trojan prince, stands protectively behind her, his love for Cressida evident in his determined gaze. The illustration's intricate details and vivid colors transport us back to the early 1800s, offering a glimpse into the world of Shakespearean drama and the rich artistic traditions of the time. This image is a testament to the enduring power of literature and the arts to evoke emotion and transport us to other worlds.
