EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving by Daniel Maclise, titled "Shakespeare, The Justice" transports us into the world of William Shakespeare and his timeless literary works. The image captures the essence of one of Shakespeare's most famous monologues from "As You Like It" - "All the world's a stage, and all the men and women merely players". In this particular scene, we witness an aged Shakespeare embodying justice itself. His wise eyes gaze intently at us as he holds a gavel in one hand and a scroll in the other, symbolizing his authority over law and literature. As an artist himself, Maclise skillfully portrays not only Shakespeare's physical aging but also his intellectual maturity. The composition is rich with symbolism that reflects both Shakespeare's life journey and his profound understanding of human nature. Surrounding him are images representing each of the seven ages depicted in his play: infancy, schoolboyhood, loverhood, soldierhood, justicehood (middle age), old age (leaned on by pantaloon), and finally second childhood. This print serves as a powerful reminder that despite our inevitable progression through these stages of life, our legacy can endure for centuries to come. Through this artwork, we are invited to reflect on how time shapes us all while marveling at Shakespeare's ability to capture universal truths about humanity within his plays.
