EDITORS COMMENTS
The Barge floated down the River, a poignant illustration capturing the heart-wrenching tale of unrequited love. Taken from Stories of King Arthur and the Round Table by Beatrice Clay, this 1st Edition lithograph from 1905 transports us to a world steeped in medieval Arthurian legend. In this enchanting scene, we witness the tragic figure of Elaine of Astolat on her death bed, her broken heart symbolized by the boat gently gliding along the river's current. The Lady of Shalott herself could not have been more beautifully depicted as she bids farewell to Camelot and all its characters. The artist Dora Curtis skillfully captures every emotion etched upon Elaine's face as she embarks on her final journey towards eternal rest. The intricate details in this engraving bring London's Westminster Bridge and castles into sharp focus, serving as a backdrop for this sorrowful moment. This print is not just an exquisite piece of art but also a testament to timeless themes such as lost love and sacrifice that continue to resonate with audiences today. It serves as a reminder that even within mythological realms, human emotions remain universal. As we gaze upon this image from Bridgeman Images' private collection, we are transported back in time to witness one woman's heartbreaking story unfold amidst the grandeur of Arthurian legend.
