EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a powerful scene from Shakespeare's stories of the English Kings, published in 1912 by George Harrap & Son. The illustration, created by Gertrude E. Demain Hammond, showcases the determination and villainous nature of King Richard III. In this vivid depiction, we see King Richard III walking through a bustling street scene with a regal air about him. Despite his deformities and hunchbacked appearance, he exudes an aura of authority and strength. Clutching onto a walking stick for support, he gazes ahead with unwavering resolve. The vibrant colors of the lithograph bring to life the late 15th century setting, transporting us back to a time when royalty ruled with iron fists. The attention to detail is remarkable as every element contributes to the overall narrative - from the children playing in the streets to the onlookers who are both fascinated and fearful of their ruler. Hammond's illustration beautifully captures Shakespeare's words "I am determined to prove a villain" as it portrays Richard III's ruthless ambition and disdain for idle pleasures. It serves as a reminder that power can corrupt even those who seem physically disadvantaged. This print not only celebrates Shakespearean literature but also pays homage to Gertrude E. Demain Hammond's talent as an illustrator. It invites viewers into a world where history meets artistry and leaves them captivated by its timeless allure.
