Created in 1926 by the talented artist Arthur Rackham (1867-1939), this colour lithograph transports us to Act II: Scene II, Line 153 of the play. The image depicts a pivotal moment where Caliban, a complex and intriguing character, is shown kneeling before Stephano with utmost reverence. With deep emotion etched on his face, Caliban declares his loyalty and devotion by exclaiming, "I'll kiss thy foot: I'll swear myself thy subject". This powerful scene captures the essence of servitude and submission while also hinting at themes of power dynamics and manipulation. Rackham's skilful use of colour brings vibrancy to this historical artwork. Each hue carefully chosen to enhance the mood and atmosphere surrounding these characters. The attention to detail is remarkable as every line conveys depth and emotion. As we delve into this mesmerizing illustration, we are transported into Shakespeare's world filled with magic and intrigue. It serves as a reminder of the enduring legacy that Shakespeare has left behind through his masterful storytelling.
