EDITORS COMMENTS
This illustration, titled "My crown is in my heart, not on my head" transports us back to the 15th century and offers a glimpse into the world of Shakespeare's stories of the English Kings. Created by Gertrude E. Demain Hammond in 1912, this colour lithograph captures the essence of royalty and solitude. The image depicts King Henry VI of England, portrayed as a solitary figure wandering through a picturesque countryside. Dressed in medieval costume with a hood covering his head, he exudes an air of loneliness and introspection. The landscape surrounding him adds to the sense of isolation, emphasizing his regal but solitary existence. Hammond's attention to detail is evident in her portrayal of King Henry VI. His expression reflects both the weightiness of his responsibilities as ruler and the vulnerability that lies within him. It is clear that for this king, true power resides not in external symbols like crowns or titles but rather within his own heart. This poignant artwork invites us to reflect on themes such as leadership, identity, and inner strength. It serves as a reminder that true greatness comes from within ourselves rather than from material possessions or positions of authority. As we admire this timeless piece from George Harrap & Son's publication, we are reminded once again why Shakespeare's tales continue to resonate with audiences across centuries - they speak directly to our shared human experiences and emotions.
