EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a significant moment in history - Mr Phelps Planting The Shakespeare Oak on Primrose Hill, London, c1890. In 1864, more than 100,000 people gathered at Primrose Hill to commemorate the 300th anniversary of William Shakespeare's birth. This image is sourced from Cassells History of England, Vol. VI. , authored by John Cassell. The scene depicts a diverse crowd assembled on the picturesque hillside as Mr Phelps plants the symbolic oak tree. Amidst the sea of people are men and women, both young and old, united in their celebration of Britain's literary genius. A lady with her arm raised in gesture stands out among them. Flags flutter proudly in the breeze; Union Jacks wave alongside banners bearing quotes from Shakespeare's timeless works. The atmosphere is one of reverence and excitement as this monumental event unfolds. The print transports us back to a bygone era when literature held immense importance within society. It serves as a reminder not only of Shakespeare's enduring legacy but also of the power that art has to bring communities together. Preserved through time by The Print Collector29 and published by Cassell & Company Limited, this monochrome engraving offers us a glimpse into an extraordinary historical moment etched forever on Primrose Hill - an iconic geographical feature that witnessed this grand celebration over a century ago.
