About This Design

Lady of Shalott | John William Waterhouse Postcard

Lady of Shalott | John William Waterhouse Postcard

I Am Half-Sick of Shadows, said the Lady of Shalott (1916) by John William Waterhouse beautifully captures a pivotal moment from Tennyson’s poem. In this scene, the Lady of Shalott is depicted sitting at her loom, weaving a tapestry of the outside world she can only view through a mirror. She is dressed in a vibrant red gown, which contrasts sharply with the muted background. Her expression is one of melancholy and yearning, as she contemplates her cursed existence and her growing desire to break free from the loom's limitations. The title, taken from the poem’s famous line, emphasises her inner conflict—caught between the safety of her isolation and the lure of the outside world. Waterhouse's mastery of light, colour, and intricate detail in this painting evokes a sense of longing, restriction, and the cost of unfulfilled desires. Use the design tools to add custom text or personalise the image.

Bought 10 Shakespeare quotes postcards and have framed them individually and placed them around the house Love them, some are funny and some are deep and meaningful! Lovely background on some, excellent printed words. A couple of plain white cards with black print - very stricking

My order was probably an awkward one! I asked for a range of different fine-art prints, in postcard size. It was all freshly printed, delivered quickly and at a very reasonable price. Best quality matt finish I've seen on a fine-art print.
