EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Rosalind, 1891" takes us back to the enchanting world of theatre in the late 19th century. Created by H Saunders, this colour lithograph showcases a character from Shakespeare's famous play As You Like It. Rosalind, portrayed here as a woman dressed in men's clothing, exudes an air of confidence and defiance against societal norms. The Victorian era was known for its strict gender roles and expectations, making Rosalind's cross-dressing portrayal all the more intriguing. This image challenges traditional notions of femininity and explores themes of identity and self-expression. The vibrant colours used in this lithograph bring life to Rosalind's character, highlighting her heroic qualities as she navigates through love and adventure. The detailed portrait captures both strength and vulnerability within this Shakespearean heroine. As we delve into the arts and entertainment realm depicted in this print, we are reminded of William Shakespeare's timeless contributions to literature. His works continue to captivate audiences across centuries with their profound insights into human nature. H Saunders' artistic interpretation adds another layer of depth to Rosalind's character, emphasizing her courage as an actress who defied societal expectations during a time when women were often relegated to secondary roles on stage. This remarkable piece serves as a testament not only to the talent of H Saunders but also to the enduring power of theatre in challenging conventions and celebrating individuality.
