EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the tragic tale of Romeo and Juliet, as depicted in William Shakespeare's timeless play. The image showcases a pivotal moment when Romeo purchases poison from an apothecary, highlighting the desperation and urgency that permeate their ill-fated love story. Published in London in 1890, this illustration is part of "The Illustrated Library Shakspeare" a collection that brings Shakespeare's iconic characters to life through intricate artwork. In this particular scene, we witness Romeo seeking a solution to the seemingly insurmountable obstacles standing between him and his beloved Juliet. The historical significance of this portrayal lies not only in its artistic value but also in its reflection of medical practices during that era. It offers us a glimpse into the world of apothecaries - skilled individuals who were responsible for preparing medicines and remedies before modern pharmaceuticals emerged. Ken Welsh's masterful capture beautifully encapsulates the essence of this poignant moment. Through his artistry, he transports us back to Shakespearean times, allowing us to immerse ourselves fully in the emotions experienced by these iconic characters. Whether you are an avid fan of Shakespeare or simply appreciate historical illustrations, this print serves as a powerful reminder of the enduring impact literature can have on our lives.
