EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print, we are transported back to the medieval world of William Shakespeare's Hamlet. The scene depicts the titular character engaged in an intense conversation with his loyal friend Horatio. Published by Hodder & Stoughton in 1915, this colour lithograph by W. G. Simmonds beautifully captures the essence of Shakespeare's timeless play. Hamlet, portrayed as a noble prince of Denmark, stands tall and commanding while holding hands with Horatio. Their intertwined fingers symbolize their unbreakable bond and solidarity amidst the turmoil that surrounds them. As they converse, their expressions reveal a sense of urgency and determination. The artist skillfully incorporates elements from Viking culture into this illustration, adding depth to the characters' identities. Shields adorned with intricate designs serve as a reminder of their warrior heritage and hint at the impending conflicts they will face. This image not only showcases friendship but also highlights Hamlet's role as both instructor and conspirator. His gestures suggest he is imparting crucial instructions to Horatio or perhaps confiding in him about his plans for revenge. As we gaze upon this remarkable artwork, we are reminded of Shakespeare's genius in capturing human emotions and complexities through his words. This print serves as a visual testament to the enduring power and impact of one of literature's greatest plays - Hamlet by William Shakespeare.
