"Hamlet" is a collection of five black and white illustrations created by the British artist John Austen, best known for his work in the Art Nouveau style. Each illustration is framed within a rectangular border and features symbolic figures and imagery, conveying a sense of drama and intrigue. From a skeletal figure under a tree, to a hooded woman and a cherubic figure, these pieces evoke the atmosphere of Shakespeare's tragic play. Austen, born in 1886 and active until 1948, was known for his use of bold lines and dynamic compositions, making this set of prints an intriguing representation of his artistic approach.
