EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph print captures a scene from William Shakespeare's "The Taming of the Shrew". Illustrated by W. H. Robinson, it depicts Petruchio, one of the play's main characters, engaging in his eccentric behavior. In this particular moment, Petruchio pretends to find fault with every dish served to him and dramatically throws the meat onto the floor. The artist skillfully portrays Petruchio's exaggerated actions and expressions as he indulges in his role-playing antics. This illustration was created for Charles Lamb's "Tales from Shakespeare" published around 1902. The image perfectly complements Lamb's retelling of this classic story. Petruchio's behavior serves as a metaphorical representation of his attempts to tame and mold Katherine, also known as the shrew. By subjecting her to such unconventional treatment, he aims to break her spirit and assert dominance over her. Robinson masterfully captures both the humor and underlying tension in this pivotal moment within the play. Through his detailed craftsmanship, we can almost hear Petruchio's boisterous laughter echoing through the room. This lithograph not only showcases Robinson's artistic talent but also highlights Shakespearean literature at its finest. It is an exquisite piece that invites viewers into a world where drama unfolds on both stage and plate – reminding us that even culinary experiences can be filled with wit and theatrics.
