An original hand-coloured lithograph from Jane Elizabeth Giraud’s Flowers of Shakspeare (1845).
Illustrating ‘Henry V’, Act I, scene 1:
‘The Strawberry grows underneath the Nettle
And wholesome berries thrive and ripen best
Neighbour’d by fruit of baser quality:
And so the prince obscured his contemplation
Under the veil of wildness; which, no doubt,
Grew like the Summer-Grass, fastest by night,
Unseen, yet crescive in his faculty’.
