To Call Her Mine
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating engraving by Walter Besant that transports us to the summer of 1887, as depicted in The Illustrated London News. Amedee Forestier skillfully brings Besant's literary vision to life through his intricate illustration. In this scene, we find ourselves amidst a dramatic weather phenomenon. The ragged man with a long beard stands transfixed, his eyes fixed on the sudden flash of forked lightning illuminating the darkened sky. It seems as though he knew this sight was coming; perhaps he possesses some hidden knowledge of meteorology or scientific methods. The intensity of the moment is palpable – the crackling energy and raw power of nature are beautifully captured in Forestier's work. As viewers, we can almost feel the electricity coursing through our veins. Besant's "To Call Her Mine" serves not only as an artistic masterpiece but also as a reminder of humanity's fascination with weather and its unpredictable nature. Meteorologists and scientists have long sought to understand climate patterns and unravel the mysteries behind such awe-inspiring displays. This print from Fine Art Finder allows us to marvel at both Besant's storytelling prowess and Forestier's ability to translate words into vivid imagery. It invites us to ponder our place within the vastness of nature while appreciating its beauty and unpredictability simultaneously.
