This print captures a scene from William Shakespeare's play, "Henry IV, Part Two" specifically Act III, Scene II. The image showcases the character Shallow delivering his memorable lines: "The same Sir John, the very same. I saw him break Skogan's head at the court gate when 'a was a crack not thus high". Drawn and etched by George Cruikshank in 1890 for "The Illustrated Library Shakspeare" published in London. Cruikshank's illustration brings to life this iconic moment with its intricate details and expressive characters.

It serves as a visual reminder of the enduring power and impact that Shakespeare's plays continue to have on audiences even centuries later. Ken Welsh has expertly preserved this historical gem in photographic form, allowing us to appreciate Cruikshank’s artistry while also honoring Shakespeare’s profound influence on storytelling. Whether displayed in homes or educational institutions, this print is sure to spark conversations about literature, theater, and artistic interpretation across generations.
