EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a moment frozen in time, showcasing the print of "Shakespeare or Bacon" by Alfred Edward Emslie. Measuring 25.5x35.5 cm, this artwork is displayed proudly in a private collection, evoking an air of intellectualism and debate. The photo transports us to an elegant interior setting, possibly a gentleman's club, where a group of distinguished men are engaged in deep discussion over lunch. Seated around a table adorned with exquisite carvings and sculptures, these humanists engage in an intense argument about the true authorship of Shakespeare's works - was it Shakespeare himself or Francis Bacon? As they delve into their meal, their animated gestures and expressions reveal the passion behind their debate. The atmosphere is charged with intellectuality as each participant presents his case with conviction. The print itself showcases the detailed carving of Shakespeare's bust alongside Bacon's likeness on paper. This artistic representation adds another layer to the ongoing dispute between these two literary giants. Captured by ePeter Nahum at The Leicester Galleries in London, this photograph not only immortalizes Emslie's artwork but also invites viewers to ponder upon the age-old question: who truly penned those timeless plays?
