EDITORS COMMENTS
: A Haunting Vision of William Randolph Hearst as Richard III This evocative illustration captures a pivotal moment in William Shakespeare's Richard III, with William Randolph Hearst brilliantly portraying the titular character in a dream-like state. Surrounded by the somber atmosphere of a dimly lit chamber, Hearst's Richard III is shown in full regal armor, a stark reminder of the impending battle that awaits him. The ghostly apparitions of Prince Edward and the Duke of Clarence loom ominously before him, their ethereal forms casting an eerie glow over the scene. The ghostly figures implore Richard III to remember them in the upcoming battle, with Prince Edward's plea being particularly poignant: "Let me sit heavy on thy soul tomorrow!" The ghost of Clarence adds to the chorus, urging Richard III to ponder their fates as he prepares for the impending conflict. The addition of Chauncey M. Depew to the scene, taking on the appearance of a ghost, further amplifies the ominous tone of the illustration. Depew, an American politician and businessman, was a contemporary of Hearst and may have been included as a nod to the theatrical production or as a symbolic representation of the weight of past deeds and consequences. This haunting image, captured on October 31, 1906, serves as a poignant reminder of the burdens that come with power and the consequences of one's actions. The ghostly apparitions serve as a stark reminder that the past is never truly forgotten and that the sins of the past can come back to haunt us in the most unexpected ways.
