EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "Lear and Cordelia (King Lear), c1870" takes us back to the 16th century, capturing a powerful moment from William Shakespeare's tragedy, King Lear. The artist behind this masterpiece is W Ridgeway, whose attention to detail brings the characters of Lear and Cordelia to life. The image portrays an intimate scene between father and daughter as they rest peacefully in slumber. Clad in Elizabethan attire, their costumes reflect the rich history of England. This engraving was featured in The Works of Shakspere by Charles Knight, published by Virtue & Co. Limited in London during the 19th century. In this poignant portrayal, we witness the complex dynamics of family relationships and love that transcend time. King Lear represents paternal authority while Cordelia embodies filial devotion. Their connection transcends fiction as it resonates with universal themes of loyalty and sacrifice. Marcus Stone's artistic vision beautifully captures the essence of Shakespearean drama on stage. As we gaze upon this monochrome image, we are transported to a world where kings rule over kingdoms and daughters stand steadfastly beside their fathers. This photograph reminds us not only of Shakespeare's enduring legacy but also highlights the timeless power of art itself. It serves as a testament to British literature and theatre while inviting viewers into a realm where imagination knows no boundaries.
