Hamlet, The Winter’s Tale, A Midsummer Night’s Dream…Shakespeare’s sublime words. Walter Crane’s exquisite illustrations. Here, in “Flowers from Shakespeare’s Garden”, the celebrated nineteenth century English illustrator delights us with 40 enchanting illustrations of Shakespeare’s best-known quotes on plants and flowers.
There’s rosemary, that’s for remembrance, pale primroses, sweet musk roses...Ophelia, Perdita, Oberon… Shakespeare, also seen as a botanist and alchemist, used flowers and plants as powerful metaphors in his works, reflecting the era's love for floral scents.
In this creative concept, ARTiSTORY took inspiration from the British Library's collections including Shakespeare's plays like Hamlet and A Midsummer Night's Dream, featuring exquisite illustrations by Walter Crane. The "Shakespeare's Garden Perfume Collection" includes perfumes such as "Four Red Roses on a Stalk" and "Enter Ophelia," which capture the essence of Shakespeare's floral imagery. With 40 enchanting illustrations of Shakespeare's best-known quotes on plants and flowers, brands can reflect on the era's love for floral scents and Shakespeare's botanical passion, which can help enrich buyers' appreciation of Shakespeare's literary and botanical artistry.
ARTiSTORY's curatorial and creative teams are excited to collaborate with you in exploring the opportunities of a museum IP licensing partnership. By transforming historical artifacts into contemporary products, we can help boost your sales with unique designs and compelling storytelling.
