EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the iconic "William Shakespeare's First Folio 1623" engraving by Martin Droeshout. The image captures a significant piece of British culture and literary history, transporting us back to the 17th century. In this vertical composition, we see a mature man, believed to be William Shakespeare himself, depicted in exquisite detail. He is dressed in traditional attire with a neck ruff and his gaze fixed upon us. The waist-up portrait highlights his commanding presence as one of the greatest playwrights and poets of all time. The illustration and painting technique used by Droeshout beautifully brings out the essence of Shakespeare's genius. This historical artifact holds immense importance as it represents the first collected edition of Shakespeare's plays, published just seven years after his death. The intricate engravings on each page of this folio serve as a testament to both Droeshout's skill as an engraver and Shakespeare's enduring legacy. This print not only celebrates literature but also offers a glimpse into England during the early 17th century. Displayed prominently, this print serves as a reminder of how one man's words can transcend time and continue to captivate audiences centuries later. It is an homage to William Shakespeare, whose works have shaped English literature forevermore.
