EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the artwork "Winter" by William Shakespeare, beautifully illustrated by Myles Birket Foster in 1872. The image captures a moment of serene beauty during the cold winter season, evoking a sense of nostalgia and enchantment. In this stunning piece, we see a woman immersed in the wintry landscape, surrounded by snow-covered trees and an ethereal snowy backdrop. Her presence exudes grace and elegance as she stands amidst nature's frozen embrace. The illustration transports us to the Elizabethan era, with its intricate details and rich symbolism. The sonnet from Love's Labour Lost inscribed on the print adds depth to the scene - "When blood is nipped, and ways be foul/Then nightly sings the starting owl/To-whoo". These lines remind us of how even in harsh conditions, there is still beauty to be found if one takes time to appreciate it. As we gaze upon this artwork, we are reminded of Christmas festivities celebrated throughout history. It serves as a reminder that despite the cold weather outside our windows, warmth can always be found within our hearts during this joyous Christian festival. This print not only captures a moment frozen in time but also represents an important part of literary arts and English literature heritage. It allows us to delve into both history and culture while appreciating Birket Foster's exceptional talent for bringing Shakespeare's words to life through his illustrations.
