EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating illustration titled "Fair encounter of the most Rare affections" transports viewers into the enchanting world of Shakespeare's play, The Tempest. Created by Paul Vincent Woodroffe in 1908, this vibrant colour lithograph captures a pivotal moment on Prospero's mystical island. In this scene, we witness a tempestuous storm brewing as characters don elaborate costumes that reflect their roles and personalities. Prospero, the exiled sorcerer and rightful Duke of Milan, stands tall with an air of authority and wisdom. His daughter Miranda gazes adoringly at him, her innocence contrasting with his magical prowess. Amidst the chaos caused by Prospero's conjured storm lies King Alonzo of Naples and his treacherous brother Antonio. Their expressions reveal fear and remorse for their past actions against Prospero. Caliban, a deformed creature native to the island, lurks in the background as a symbol of both servitude and rebellion. Woodroffe masterfully brings Shakespeare's words to life through intricate details and vivid colors. Each character is meticulously portrayed to convey their unique traits while capturing the essence of this timeless play. This print serves as a visual reminder of Shakespeare's enduring legacy and invites us to delve into The Tempest’s themes: power struggles, forgiveness, redemption, love, and magic. It encapsulates not only Woodroffe's artistic talent but also our fascination with literature that continues to captivate audiences across generations.
