EDITORS COMMENTS
In this illustration from Shakespeare's stories of the English Kings, we are transported back to a moment of deep emotion and connection. Richard, the King of England, lifts his head and gazes upon his wife with an intensity that speaks volumes about their bond. Published in 1912 by George Harrap & Son, this color lithograph beautifully captures the essence of love and royalty. The artist Gertrude E. Demain Hammond skillfully brings to life the characters from history as she depicts King Richard II and his beloved Anne of Bohemia. The couple stands amidst a medieval street scene, surrounded by soldiers, guards, and a curious crowd. Despite the chaos around them, their focus remains solely on each other. Hammond's attention to detail is evident in every stroke; she expertly portrays not only their physical features but also their emotional state. Richard's expression reflects both strength and vulnerability as he looks upon his wife with adoration. Anne exudes grace and poise as she meets her husband's gaze with equal affection. This illustration serves as a reminder that even amidst political turmoil and societal pressures, love can endure. It reminds us that behind every historical figure lies a human being capable of profound emotions. As we admire this print from our private collection today, let it transport us back in time to witness this intimate moment between two extraordinary individuals who shaped history through their love for each other.
