EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph, titled "Upon a heath, exposed to the fury of the storm in a dark night, did King Lear wander out. . " by Harold Copping, transports us into the tempestuous world of Shakespeare's tragic masterpiece. The image captures the essence of King Lear's harrowing journey as he confronts his own vulnerability amidst nature's wrath. In this scene from Tales from Shakespeare by Mary and Charles Lamb, we witness Lear standing on a desolate heath under an ominous sky. The artist skillfully portrays the king's isolation and despair through his hunched posture and windblown hair. As lightning illuminates his anguished face, we can almost hear the thunderous roar that echoes through the air. Copping's attention to detail is remarkable; every stroke of his brush conveys both the physical and emotional turmoil experienced by Lear. The howling winds seem to tear at his regal garments while rain lashes against him mercilessly. Yet despite these adversities, Lear defiantly stands tall against nature’s onslaught. This lithograph not only captures an iconic moment in English literature but also serves as a testament to William Shakespeare’s enduring legacy. It reminds us of our shared humanity and our capacity for resilience even in times of great adversity. Through this powerful artwork, we are invited to reflect upon themes such as madness, betrayal, and redemption that resonate with audiences across generations. "Upon a heath" immortalized in this lithographic print by Harold Copping, invites us
