EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph, titled "Henry IV, Part I" takes us back to the world of William Shakespeare's renowned play. Created by John Gilbert in 1890, this print captures a pivotal moment in the story with its intricate details and masterful execution. The image showcases King Henry the Fourth, portrayed as a larger-than-life figure. His rotund physique is emphasized, reflecting his reputation for being fat and obese. The artist skillfully brings out the character's imposing presence through his regal attire and commanding gaze. Surrounded by an air of royalty and history, this illustration transports us into the heart of Shakespearean drama. It reminds us of the power struggles that unfolded during Henry IV's reign and sets the stage for an enthralling narrative filled with political intrigue and personal dilemmas. One cannot help but be drawn to Sir John Falstaff, who stands beside King Henry. With his dagger at hand, he adds an element of mystery to the scene. Known for his wit and charm, Falstaff plays a significant role in shaping both comedic relief and dramatic tension throughout the play. This remarkable lithograph is part of "The Illustrated Library Shakespeare" collection published in London in 1890. Its timeless appeal continues to captivate audiences today as it immortalizes one of Shakespeare's most iconic historical dramas.
