EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "I forbid you to set the crown of England upon that forfeited head" instantly transports us back to 1923. Created by the talented artist William Hatherell, this vibrant colour lithograph captures a pivotal moment from Mark Twain's renowned novel, The Prince and the Pauper. In this scene, we witness a young boy interrupting a solemn ceremony at Westminster Abbey. Dressed in regal attire and clutching a book tightly in his hands, he defiantly forbids the placement of the royal crown on an unsuspecting child's head. Mistaken identity plays its part here as this interruption reveals a fascinating twist within the story. Hatherell skillfully brings out every detail in this illustration - from intricate ceremonial garments to majestic crowns adorning their heads. The expressions on each character's face convey both surprise and confusion as they grapple with this unexpected turn of events. The significance of monarchy and royalty is beautifully depicted through Hatherell's artistry. This print serves as a reminder of how stories can transport us into different worlds while exploring themes such as mistaken identity and power dynamics. Preserved in private collection, this remarkable piece continues to captivate viewers with its timeless charm. As we gaze upon it, we are reminded of Mark Twain's enduring legacy and his ability to weave enchanting tales that resonate across generations.
