EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating illustration titled "How may I reverently worship thee enough?" transports us back to the 15th century, immersing us in a scene from Shakespeare's stories of the English Kings. Created by Gertrude E. Demain Hammond in 1912, this color lithograph captures a moment of profound reverence and awe. In the image, we witness Dauphin Charles kneeling before Joan la Pucelle (of Arc), his eyes fixed upon her with utmost admiration. The young ruler is depicted as humble and devout, his sword laid aside as he pays homage to this saintly figure who has captured his heart. The composition exudes an ethereal quality, enhanced by the soft hues and delicate details that bring the characters to life. It is evident that Charles sees Joan as more than just a mortal; she is like a bright star fallen from Venus itself. His question lingers in the air: How can he possibly worship her enough? This artwork not only reflects on historical events but also explores themes of devotion, power dynamics, and divine intervention. Through its masterful execution, it invites viewers to ponder their own capacity for reverence and adoration. As we gaze upon this print from George Harrap & Son's publication, we are transported into a world where kings kneel before saints and miracles unfold before our eyes. It serves as a reminder of Shakespeare's timeless ability to capture human emotions through his words while highlighting Gertrude E. Demain Hammond's talent for bringing these stories vividly to life through art.
