EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a pivotal moment in William Shakespeare's play, "Henry IV, Part 2". Illustrated by the talented George Cruikshank and published in London in 1890 as part of "The Illustrated Library Shakspeare" this image depicts the dramatic scene where Mrs Quickly has Sir John Falstaff arrested. In the foreground, we see Mrs Quickly, a prominent character known for her wit and charm, pointing an accusatory finger at Falstaff. Her determined expression suggests that she is resolute in bringing justice to the situation. Meanwhile, Sir John Falstaff stands with an air of disbelief and resignation as he realizes his freedom is slipping away. Cruikshank's etching technique brings depth and detail to each character's facial expressions and body language. The intricate lines add texture to their costumes while also conveying their emotions with remarkable clarity. Through this illustration, we are transported into the world of Shakespearean drama. We witness the tension between these two characters unfold before our eyes – one seeking justice while the other faces impending consequences for his actions. Ken Welsh's expertly captured print allows us to appreciate both Cruikshank's artistic talent and Shakespeare's timeless storytelling. It serves as a reminder of how art can bring literature to life even centuries after its creation.
