EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "It is the east and Juliet is the sun" transports us back to 19th century Italy, where romance and tragedy intertwine in Shakespeare's timeless play, Romeo and Juliet. The image captures a moment of profound love as Romeo gazes adoringly at his beloved Juliet. Set against the backdrop of a serene pool, their figures are bathed in the soft light of dawn, symbolizing new beginnings. The monochrome aesthetic adds an air of nostalgia to this chromolithograph from 1856-1858. It showcases the enduring power of Shakespeare's words, which continue to resonate with audiences centuries later. The fidelity to detail in this print highlights its artistic value. Beyond its dramatic context, this photograph also hints at scientific themes prevalent during that era. With references to astronomy and the solar system, it reminds us that even amidst human drama, nature remains constant. As we admire this remarkable piece by an unknown creator but inspired by William Shakespeare's genius, we are reminded of the universal nature of love and how it can transcend time and place. This print serves as a testament to both Shakespeare's brilliance as a playwright and our innate desire for connection and passion.
