EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases "The Lady of Shalott" by renowned artist John William Waterhouse. Created in 1916-1917, this colour lithograph captures the essence of the original painting, which is held in a private collection. Waterhouse was an esteemed English artist and member of the Royal Academy who lived from 1849 to 1917. His works often depicted mythological and literary themes, as seen here with "The Lady of Shalott". This particular piece appeared in Bibbys Annual for the years 1916-1917. "The Lady of Shalott" tells the tragic tale of a young woman confined to a tower on an island near Camelot. She weaves beautiful tapestries while observing life through a mirror until she becomes captivated by Sir Lancelot passing by. Breaking her vow not to look directly at him, she sets off on a fateful journey downriver towards her ultimate demise. This print allows us to appreciate Waterhouse's mastery in capturing emotion and storytelling through his brushstrokes. The vibrant colours and intricate details bring this enchanting scene to life, inviting viewers into the world of Arthurian legend. As we admire this timeless artwork, let us reflect on its historical context during World War I. It serves as a reminder that even amidst turmoil and conflict, art continues to inspire and transport us beyond our present reality.
