“History Play” by Jane Lawrence, on the Sculpture Trail at Anne Hathaway’s Cottage, Shottery, near Stratford-upon-Avon. Photo May 2015.
Next to the sculpture is a plaque with a quotation from Shakespeare’s Richard II:
This sceptred isle,
This earth of majesty, this seat of Mars,
This other Eden, demi-paradise,
This fortress built by nature for herself
Against infection and the hand of war,
This happy breed of men, this little world,
This precious stone set in the silver sea
