EDITORS COMMENTS
In this 19th-century engraving from an English edition of William Shakespeare's King Lear, we witness a poignant moment between Cordelia and her father. The scene depicted is Act IV, Scene 7, where Cordelia awakens the slumbering King Lear. The image showcases the intricate border and decorative elements commonly found in Elizabethan illustrations. It transports us back to a time when literature was celebrated through exquisite artwork. As we gaze upon this print, we are reminded of the tragic nature of King Lear—a play renowned for its exploration of power, betrayal, and familial love. The engraving captures the essence of these themes with its evocative portrayal. Cordelia's gentle touch and concerned expression reveal her deep affection for her father despite his past mistakes. Her awakening gesture symbolizes not only physical arousal but also an awakening within Lear himself—a realization that he has been blind to those who truly care for him. This powerful image invites us into the world of theater in 19th-century England—an era when Shakespeare's works were revered on stage. It serves as a testament to the enduring impact and timeless beauty of Shakespearean tragedies like King Lear. This print by The Granger Collection allows us to appreciate both the artistic mastery behind engravings from that period and the emotional depth conveyed through visual storytelling.
