EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph, titled ""And as he went, he thought he saw another dagger in the air"", transports us into the world of William Shakespeare's tragic play Macbeth. Created by Harold Copping, a renowned artist from the late 19th and early 20th centuries, this print captures a pivotal moment in the story. The image depicts Macbeth, consumed by his guilt and paranoia after committing regicide. As he walks alone through the dimly lit corridors of his castle, his troubled mind plays tricks on him. In this haunting scene, Macbeth believes that he sees yet another dagger floating before him in mid-air. Copping's skillful use of light and shadow adds to the eerie atmosphere surrounding Macbeth. The engraving technique employed here enhances every intricate detail - from Macbeth's tormented expression to the ethereal nature of the phantom dagger. This lithograph was originally created as an illustration for Tales from Shakespeare by Mary and Charles Lamb. It beautifully captures one of Shakespeare's most famous soliloquies while offering a visual interpretation that complements its literary counterpart. As we gaze upon this print, we are reminded not only of Shakespeare's genius but also our own capacity for self-deception and moral decay. It serves as a timeless reminder that unchecked ambition can lead even noble souls down a treacherous path. With its rich symbolism and masterful execution, ""And as he went, he thought he saw another dagger in the air""
