EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a moment of confusion and mistaken identity from William Shakespeare's "The Comedy of Errors". The scene depicted is filled with dramatic tension as a man pleads to an unknown woman, exclaiming, ""Plead you to me, fair dame? I know you not. "". The image beautifully portrays the complexity of human relationships and the comical misunderstandings that can arise. The print itself is a color lithograph from the 1920s edition of "The Complete Works of Shakespeare" published by George Harrap & Co Ltd. It showcases the incredible talent of Holbein the Younger, whose attention to detail brings this iconic scene to life. The costumes worn by the actors add depth and authenticity to their characters, immersing viewers in the world of Elizabethan theatre. Gertrude Demain Hammond (1862-1952), a renowned artist at that time, created this engraving for inclusion in this special edition. Her skillful interpretation perfectly captures both the humor and tragedy present throughout Shakespeare's works. This print serves as a reminder of Shakespeare's enduring legacy and his ability to captivate audiences across generations. It invites us into his world, where comedy intertwines with drama, history merges with fiction, and love battles against mistaken identities. A true masterpiece that celebrates one of literature's greatest playwrights.
