EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases an exquisite illustration for the renowned poem "Death the Leveller" by Shirley, featured in the esteemed book Palgraves Golden Treasury of Songs and Lyrics, published in 1919. Created using a vibrant colour lithograph technique by Eleanor Fortescue-Brickdale, this artwork is a true gem from a private collection. The image transports us to an interior setting adorned with mourning symbols and solemnity. A church serves as the backdrop, evoking a sense of spirituality and reverence. In the foreground stands a child, gazing at an intricately designed sculpture that represents death. The delicate flowers surrounding it add both beauty and fragility to the scene. The colours employed by Brickdale breathe life into this poetic masterpiece; they enhance its emotional depth and convey its profound themes of mortality and equality before death. This poignant illustration pays respects to Shirley's powerful words while offering viewers a visual interpretation of his thought-provoking poem. With meticulous attention to detail, Brickdale captures the essence of Shirley's work through her skillful use of colour and composition. This print not only celebrates poetry but also exemplifies how art can bring literature to life. As we contemplate this remarkable piece, we are reminded that death is indeed an equalizer for all humanity—a universal truth that transcends time itself. Through this stunning illustration, Eleanor Fortescue-Brickdale immortalizes both poet Shirley's words and her own artistic brilliance for generations to come.
