Pre-Raphaelite Postcard By John William Waterhouse
"I Am Half-Sick of Shadows," Said the Lady of Shalott by J. W. Waterhouse 1915
Like the PRB, John William Waterhouse had a predilection for depicting the themes of love unrequited or frustrated by the fates, such as the embowered and cursed Lady of Shalott. In this work, the first of Waterhouse's three versions of the subject, he depicts the Lady of Shalott at the moment when she sees the "young lovers lately wed" and becomes dissatisfied with her isolated life in the tower. The first version (1888) now in the Tate Gallery, depicts the Lady setting out for Camelot in her boat. The second (1894) now in the City Art Gallery in Leeds, portrays the climactic moment when she sees Lancelot in the mirror and turns to look out the window at him. Waterhouse's portrayal of the Lady in this entry as a wistful, young princess in a luxurious tower reveals his underlying interest in the subject of frustrated or unrequited love.

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.
