EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo print, we are transported back to the dramatic world of Shakespeare's Richard III. Act IV Scene IV comes alive as Elizabeth Woodville and the Duchess of York confront and remonstrate with the cunning Richard III. Illustrated by the talented Sir John Gilbert in 1858, this engraving beautifully captures a pivotal moment in English literature. The scene unfolds with Elizabeth Woodville, widow of Edward IV and mother to young Edward V, joining forces with the formidable Duchess of York. Together, they intercept Richard III, who is known for his deceitful ways and thirst for power. In their eyes burns a fierce determination to protect their family's legacy from his treachery. Sir John Gilbert masterfully portrays these strong-willed women through intricate details that bring out their regal presence amidst a backdrop filled with symbols of British royalty. The War of Roses roses can be seen subtly woven into the illustration, reminding us of the turbulent times in which they lived. This evocative engraving not only showcases Gilbert's artistic prowess but also serves as a testament to Shakespeare's enduring influence on literature and drama. It invites us to delve deeper into this timeless tale of ambition, betrayal, and familial bonds while marveling at its visual representation. As we gaze upon this historic image captured over a century ago, we are reminded once again why Shakespeare's works continue to captivate audiences worldwide - even through still frames frozen in time like this one from c1858.
