Description: Framed and matted lithograph by E.H. Mitchell. Dated 1873 This piece comes to us from a estate sale so little is known on the history of this piece. Titled “The Witches”. We can not verify if this is indeed a true 1873 litho as we have no COA to accompany this piece. Please look closely at all photos. The litho does have some spots by the wording on the bottom. Any questions please don’t hesitate to ask. Overall measurement in the frame is 12” x 13 3/4”Litho that is visible is 8 3/8” x 8 5/8” inside the matting. Actually printed part measures 6 1/2” x 8 1/2” The three 'Weird Sisters' or the Wayward Sisters from Shakespeare's 'Macbeth', act 1, seen in profile to left with their left arms outstretched and pointing, their right to their lips, looking expectant, each wearing a hood; with bat-like creature with skull face flying at left. The source for the piece is Macbeth, Act I, scene iii, lines 39-47, when Banquo and Macbeth meet the Weird Sisters on the heath and Banquo says,. . . What are these, So wither'd and so wild in their attire, That look not like th' inhabitants o' the earth, And yet are on't? Live you? or are you aught That man may question? You seem to understand me, By each at once her choppy finger laying Upon her skinny lips: you should be women, And yet your beards forbid me to interpret That you are so.The three 'Weird Sisters' or the Wayward Sisters are characters in William Shakespeare's play Macbeth (c. 1603-1607).
