EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph, titled "King Henry's Fleet Sails for France, 1890" by John Gilbert, takes us back to a significant moment in history. Inspired by William Shakespeare's play "Henry V" the print depicts the iconic scene where King Henry V sets sail with his fleet towards France. The artist skillfully captures the essence of this historical event, showcasing a majestic flotilla of ships gracefully sailing through the night. The darkened sky and crashing waves add an air of mystery and anticipation to the scene. As we gaze at this lithograph, we can almost feel the excitement and determination emanating from King Henry and his crew. Published as part of "The Illustrated Library Shakespeare" in London in 1890, this artwork serves as a visual representation of one of Shakespeare's most renowned plays. It transports us to a time when kings ruled over vast empires and embarked on daring conquests. With its intricate details and masterful composition, Gilbert's lithograph not only pays homage to Shakespeare but also offers us a glimpse into naval warfare during medieval times. This piece is an excellent addition to any collection that celebrates both fine art and literary classics.
