EDITORS COMMENTS
This image depicts a regal and enigmatic figure, believed to be portraying the Queen of Richard II from William Shakespeare's eponymous history play. The photograph, taken by Percy Anderson in 1906, transports us back to the medieval Middle Ages, a time of grandeur, intrigue, and political upheaval. The Queen is shown in profile, her profile adorned with a magnificent blue and brown cloak, the rich hues of which evoke the somber tones of the era. Her expression is one of quiet strength and determination, as if she is pondering the weighty matters of state that rest upon her shoulders. The intricate details of her costume, with its elaborate beading and embroidery, further underscore the theatricality and grandeur of the period. This photograph, taken during the Edwardian era, is a testament to the enduring appeal of Shakespeare's works and the power of the theatre to transport us to another time and place. The image is also a reminder of the rich history and cultural significance of the Middle Ages, a period that continues to fascinate and inspire artists, writers, and scholars to this day. Percy Anderson's photograph is a beautiful and fanciful interpretation of the Queen of Richard II, a character who plays a pivotal role in Shakespeare's exploration of power, betrayal, and the human condition. Whether viewed as a work of art or a historical document, this image is a treasure to be cherished and appreciated for its beauty, intrigue, and historical significance.
