EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases an exquisite illustration for Charles Kingsley's renowned novel, "Westward Ho!" The artwork, a colour lithograph by the talented Newell Convers Wyeth, transports us to the Elizabethan era of England. In this particular scene titled "The Departure of the Rose, " we witness a poignant moment as Mrs Leigh and Sir Amyas Leigh bid farewell to their departing ship. As they stand on a rocky knoll outside the churchyard wall, their eyes are fixed upon the vessel gracefully gliding through the golden dunes. The artist masterfully captures their emotions - anticipation mixed with melancholy - as they embark on an extraordinary adventure across uncharted waters. Kingsley's epic tale of exploration and courage comes alive in this evocative illustration. It beautifully encapsulates not only the spirit of adventure but also reflects English literature at its finest during that period. With every brushstroke, Wyeth skillfully brings forth the essence of voyages and discovery that defined this remarkable era. This stunning image takes us back in time, allowing us to immerse ourselves in an age when brave explorers set sail towards unknown horizons. It serves as a reminder of our innate desire for travel and discovery, resonating with all those who have embarked on journeys both physical and metaphorical throughout history. In collaboration with Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder collection, this mesmerizing print captures British culture within its European context while celebrating timeless themes such as wanderlust and human resilience.
