EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative image captures the enduring legacy of William Shakespeare, the renowned English playwright and poet, immortalized in stone by the skilled hands of Thomas. Born on April 26, 1564, in Stratford-upon-Avon, Shakespeare's contributions to literature have left an indelible mark on the English language and world culture. His works, including plays such as "Romeo and Juliet," "Hamlet," and "Macbeth," continue to be performed and studied across the globe. The monument depicted in this photograph, located in Holy Trinity Church in Stratford-upon-Avon, was erected in 1623, just seven years after Shakespeare's death on April 23, 1616. The inscription on the monument reads, "Good friend for Iesus sake forbeare, To dig the dust enclasht in this hallow'd ground, Doe not disturb his hallow'd bones, Let them in peace, commited to the earth, Let affliction not disturb them, Let paine not touch them, Let not trouble trouble them." Thomas, the sculptor, expertly crafted Shakespeare's bust, which rests atop the monument. The intricate details of the bust, from the quill in Shakespeare's hand to the thoughtful expression on his face, serve as a testament to the artist's skill and the enduring significance of Shakespeare's work. This historical photograph, from the Mary Evans Picture Library, offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back in time to the place where the Bard's story began and ended. The monument stands as a reminder of Shakespeare's immense influence on literature and the enduring power of the written word.
