The Extraordinary Illustrated Shakespeare edition of ‘King Lear’ by John Yunge-Bateman in 1930

Shakespeare’s “King Lear” is a nihilistic and disturbing play, to be sure, but it’s not really a grotesque, sexually-charged horror story. Or is it? A 1930 edition of the play (which was first performed in 1606) has turned up on eBay, and its illustrations offer a vision you might not recognize from your high school English literature class. The drawings are by John Yunge-Bateman, who has clearly studied Aubrey Beardsley’s work. Yunge (as he signs his images) has a knack for pulling out the strangest lines and making them even creepier in pictures. Heavy Metal
