Obtained a (digital) edition of Hamlet that - for some reason - decided to illustrate Horatio and Hamlet’s scenes using art lifted from Mark Twain’s first edition of The Prince and The Pauper. And frankly it’s incredible:
I mean they’re not wrong for this choice, but it was definitely a choice
#(except that “Hamlet” is probably dressed a bit too cheerfully)#Horatio#hamlet#Shakespeare#these are most of the illustrations in the book lmao (for context: it’s a line prompt book for Horatio’s actor so that makes sense)#whoever printed this edition had a really specific fanfic version of hamlet in mind#the thematic implications of hamlet and horatio as physically identical characters IS interesting ngl#i had to go screenshot these pics from wikicommons/other sources bc my reader wouldn’t let me take a pic of it just fyi
