EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a reproduction of a poster advertising the iconic play Hamlet. Created in vibrant color lithography, this artwork was masterfully crafted by William Nicholson and James Pryde, two renowned artists from the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The original poster was reproduced in Les Maitres de l'Affiche, marking it as an exceptional piece within their collection. The image captures the essence of Hamlet's contemplative nature, with an actor depicted deep in thought. His pensive expression reflects the profound introspection that Shakespeare's tragic hero is known for. A striking element of this composition is the inclusion of a skull, symbolizing mortality and reminding viewers of one of Hamlet's most famous soliloquies: "Alas, poor Yorick!". The graphic design employed in this poster is both visually stunning and evocative. It beautifully combines bold typography with intricate illustrations to create a compelling advertisement that entices audiences to experience this timeless play. As part of The Stapleton Collection, this print holds historical significance and represents an era when artistic collaborations like that between J. and W. Beggarstaff (Beggarstaff Brothers) were just beginning to emerge. This remarkable print allows us to appreciate not only Shakespeare's enduring legacy but also the talent and creativity behind its promotion through visual artistry.
