EDITORS COMMENTS
Welcome the New Year with a touch of Victorian whimsy and Shakespearean charm! This delightful comic illustration, circa 1890s, captures the famous scene from Shakespeare's Hamlet, where the melancholic prince believes he has encountered his father's ghost on the battlements of Elsinore Castle. However, to our amusement, it turns out to be only a water pump, covered in ice and frozen in the harsh winter weather. The crenellated castle walls, shrouded in moonlight, add an air of mystery and intrigue, while Hamlet, clad in his heavy cloak, brandishes his sword in fear, his eyes wide with fright. A cat, perched on a nearby crenellation, observes the scene with a nonchalant expression, oblivious to the drama unfolding below. The frozen bucket and wine bottle on the ground, along with the icy pump handle, emphasize the frigid winter night, adding to the overall atmosphere of this historical scene. The ghostly apparition, which Hamlet mistakes for his father, is nowhere to be seen, leaving us to ponder the true nature of the apparition and Hamlet's sanity. This charming New Year card, with its intricate details and delightful humor, is a must-have for any Shakespearean or history enthusiast. It's a perfect reminder that even in the darkest of times, there is always room for a little laughter and light-heartedness.
