EDITORS COMMENTS
This print transports us back in time to a scene from the renowned play "The Hypocrite". The engraving, created by Robert Smirke in the 19th century, beautifully captures the essence of this literary masterpiece. In this particular scene, we witness an intriguing encounter between two central characters: Old Lady Lambert and Mawworm. As our eyes delve into every intricate detail of their expressions and body language, we can almost hear their dialogue echoing through the centuries. Old Lady Lambert's face is etched with wisdom and experience, her eyes filled with a mixture of curiosity and suspicion. Mawworm stands before her, his posture slightly hunched as if carrying the weight of his own deceit. His gaze is fixed on Old Lady Lambert, perhaps attempting to conceal his true intentions. "The Hypocrite" explores themes of deception and moral ambiguity within society. It delves deep into the complexities of human nature while shedding light on our willingness to wear masks for personal gain or acceptance. As we admire this remarkable print from Bridgeman Images' collection, it serves as a reminder that literature has always been a mirror reflecting our flaws and virtues alike. It invites us to ponder upon our own roles as both actors and spectators in life's grand stage – are we mere hypocrites or genuine souls?
