EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph print, titled "Illustration for Shakespeare's Macbeth" transports viewers into the dark and treacherous world of one of William Shakespeare's most renowned tragedies. Created by Alice Bolingbroke Woodward in the early 20th century, this piece beautifully captures a pivotal moment from the play. The scene depicted here is filled with tension and deceit, as highlighted by the quote inscribed below: "There's daggers in men's smiles". These words serve as a haunting reminder of Macbeth's paranoia and his realization that even those closest to him may harbor sinister intentions. Woodward skillfully brings this chilling atmosphere to life through her intricate details and expert use of light and shadow. The characters' expressions are carefully crafted, capturing their inner turmoil amidst a backdrop of uncertainty. Displayed within a private collection, this litho print serves as both an artistic masterpiece and an homage to Shakespearean literature. It is part of a larger body of work called "Stories from Shakespeare" retold by Samuel David, published around 1920. As we gaze upon this image, we are reminded not only of Macbeth's tragic downfall but also of the timeless themes explored in Shakespeare's works – ambition, betrayal, and the consequences that follow our choices. This illustration invites us to delve deeper into these universal truths while marveling at Woodward's talent for bringing them vividly to life on paper.
