EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a poignant moment from William Shakespeare's timeless tragedy, "King Lear". Act 4 unfolds as Lear, played by an unknown actor, delivers his iconic Men of Stone speech with the lifeless body of his beloved daughter Cordelia cradled in his arms. The scene is drenched in emotion and showcases the raw power of Shakespeare's words. The photograph itself dates back to around 1900 and was part of a series called Famous Tragedies. It was used as an advertisement for Liebig's extract of meat, a popular tinned food product at that time. This unexpected combination adds an intriguing layer to the image, blending artistry with commerce. The colorized depiction transports us back to Elizabethan England, where this epic tale of family betrayal and war takes place. King Lear stands tall as a monarch torn apart by his own actions while soldiers surround him, symbolizing the consequences of power struggles within a country. In this visual interpretation, we witness the convergence of two great minds: William Shakespeare and Baron Justus Freiherr von Liebig. Their collaboration brings together literature and advertising in a unique way. As we gaze upon this striking print, we are reminded not only of the tragic fate that befalls King Lear but also how art can transcend time and boundaries – even finding its way into unexpected realms like canned food advertisements.
