EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph print, titled "The Landlord of the Big Flume Hotel" by Bret Harte, transports us back to a time of literary brilliance and old-world charm. Created by Richard Caton Woodville II in 1901, this illustration captures the essence of Harte's renowned story. In this scene, we find ourselves amidst the rustic setting of the Big Flume Hotel. The landlord himself stands at the center, his presence commanding attention as he surveys his domain with an air of authority. His wife stands beside him, her gaze fixed on something unseen in the distance. The repeated image of Abner vacantly staring into space suggests a deeper narrative at play here. Perhaps it symbolizes his longing for something more than just running a hotel - a yearning for adventure or fulfillment that remains unfulfilled. Woodville's skillful engraving technique brings each character to life with intricate detail and expression. From Mary Ellen's gentle countenance to Abner's weathered features, every line tells a story within itself. "The Landlord of the Big Flume Hotel" is not merely an illustration; it is an invitation to step into another world – one filled with rich characters and untold tales waiting to be discovered. It serves as a reminder that literature has the power to transport us beyond our own reality and immerse us in new experiences. This print from Bridgeman Images is truly a treasure for any lover of literary illustrations or admirer of Bret Harte's work.
