EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph from 1890 depicts a snake gracefully slithering through a regal royal crown. Created by the English School in the 19th century, this artwork is part of a private collection and showcases an illustration at the end of Act II of William Shakespeare's renowned play, Hamlet. Published in London in 1890 as part of The Illustrated Library Shakespeare, this piece beautifully captures the symbolic essence of the play. The snake, often associated with cunning and deceit, intertwines itself within the crown, representing power and authority. Its presence serves as a visual metaphor for betrayal and treachery that unfolds throughout Hamlet's tragic tale. With intricate details and expert craftsmanship, this lithograph exemplifies the artistic style prevalent during its time. It transports viewers to Shakespearean times while offering a glimpse into one of literature's most iconic works. As an endpiece to Act II, this image leaves audiences pondering what lies ahead for Hamlet and those around him. It invites contemplation on themes such as loyalty versus deception and ambition versus morality. Preserved by Ken Welsh and now available through bridgemanimages. com, this print allows art enthusiasts to appreciate both its historical significance and artistic beauty. Whether displayed in homes or galleries, it serves as a timeless reminder of Shakespeare's enduring legacy.
