EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a shadow portrait of the fictional character, Lindsay Wolsey Esq., created by the renowned English artist, Charles H. Bennett, in 1860. The title of this illustration, "Sheeps Clothing," adds an intriguing layer of mystery to the image. In this work, Bennett masterfully employs the technique of shadow portraiture, a popular art form during the Victorian era. By using a clever play on words, Bennett's title suggests that the subject, Wolsey, is wearing 'sheeps clothing,' which could mean he is disguised or deceitful. However, upon closer inspection, we see that the 'sheeps clothing' refers to the unique artistic technique used in the portrait, where the subject's shadow is cast onto a wall in the shape of a sheep. Lindsay Wolsey, depicted as a human figure, is shown wearing formal attire, complete with a top hat and cane. His shadow, however, takes on the form of a menacing wolf, adding an element of contrast and intrigue to the image. The juxtaposition of the human figure and the animalistic shadow creates a thought-provoking contrast, leaving the viewer to ponder the true nature of this fictional character. As part of Bennett's series entitled "Shadow and Substance," this illustration is a testament to the artist's creativity and artistic vision. Bennett's innovative use of shadow portraiture not only showcases his technical skill but also invites the viewer to explore deeper meanings and interpretations. This image, with its historical significance and intriguing subject matter, continues to fascinate and intrigue art enthusiasts and historians alike.
