"Hamlet" is a collection of five black and white illustrations by the English artist John Austen (1886-1948). Depicting scenes and characters from Shakespeare's play, the artwork is composed of intricate linework and subtle shading, creating a sense of mystery and drama. The use of stark contrasts and stylized figures is characteristic of the Art Nouveau movement, a style prevalent during Austen's time. The images, arranged in a grid-like format, invite viewers to explore the themes of love, death, and fate central to the play.
