EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the enchanting world of William Shakespeare's "A Midsummer Night's Dream". Created in 1914 by artist W Heath Robinson, it beautifully captures Act 1, Scene 1 of this timeless comedy play. Set against a cream background, we find ourselves amidst nature as men and women stand outdoors. The scene is filled with music and laughter, as characters engage in lively conversation. A lady adorned with a garland stands on steps leading to an architectural portico supported by elegant pillars. Her presence exudes grace and charm. The image transports us to the vibrant atmosphere of the 16th century, where love potions are concocted under moonlit nights. It evokes a sense of whimsy and magic that permeates throughout Shakespeare's work. Robinson's attention to detail is evident in every stroke; from the delicate flowers adorning the surroundings to the musical instruments held by some characters – including pan pipes reminiscent of ancient Greek mythology. Published in The Studio Volume 67 in London during the early 20th century, this monochrome portrait showcases Robinson's artistic prowess while paying homage to one of literature's most beloved playwrights. As we gaze upon this print, we are reminded of Shakespeare’s enduring legacy and his ability to transport us into worlds where dreams come alive through his words on stage.
