EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a pivotal moment in Shakespeare's renowned play, "As You Like It". The image depicts the Fifth Age of Man, Act II, Scene VII, known as "The Seven Ages of Man" from The Boydell Shakespeare Gallery. Created by the talented artist Robert Smirke in the late 19th century, this lithograph showcases his exceptional skill and attention to detail. In this scene, we witness an interior courtroom setting where justice is being served. A wise and mature male figure presides over the proceedings as a judge or magistrate. His demeanor exudes wisdom and experience gained through years of discernment. As he sits on his elevated seat, surrounded by books and symbols of law and order, one can sense his authority and impartiality. This artwork beautifully encapsulates the theme of judgment and human maturity found within Shakespeare's work. It reminds us that life is a journey with distinct stages - each age bringing its own challenges and lessons. Through this visual representation, we are invited to reflect on our own personal growth while contemplating the universal nature of human existence. Displayed against a backdrop reminiscent of classical architecture, this print not only serves as an aesthetic delight but also prompts us to ponder deeper philosophical questions about wisdom and justice. Its timeless appeal makes it a valuable addition to any art collection or space dedicated to celebrating literature's enduring legacy.
