EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the enigmatic and timeless presence of the Bard of Avon, William Shakespeare. The image, titled "As You Like It (Shakespeare. As you like it)" by an unidentified photographer, offers a glimpse into the soul of the man who has shaped the course of Western literature. The photograph was likely taken in the late 19th or early 20th century, as evidenced by the period clothing and the antiquated props that surround Shakespeare. The setting, a dimly lit room with a fireplace and bookshelves filled with leather-bound tomes, adds to the sense of history and tradition. Shakespeare sits in a leather chair, his gaze fixed on the viewer with a quiet intensity. His white beard, framing his weathered face, seems to tell a thousand stories. The title of the photograph, "As You Like It," is a reference to one of Shakespeare's most beloved plays. The phrase is spoken by the character Jaques in Act II, Scene VII, and is often used to express the idea of accepting things as they are, or as one desires them to be. It is a fitting title for this image, as it invites us to contemplate the enduring appeal of Shakespeare and the many ways in which his works continue to resonate with us. Despite the passage of centuries, Shakespeare's influence remains undiminished. His plays, sonnets, and poems continue to be performed, studied, and cherished around the world. This photograph serves as a poignant reminder of the man behind the works, and the enduring power of the human spirit to create art that transcends time and place.
