EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "A Millionaire of Rough-and-Ready" transports us back to the bustling streets of a bygone era. Created by William Heysham Overend in 1886, this illustration beautifully captures the essence of Bret Harte's renowned story. The scene unfolds on a dusty street corner, where a magnificent stagecoach stands ready for its journey. The coach is filled with an eclectic mix of passengers - men in top hats and women adorned in elegant dresses - eagerly awaiting their departure. A skilled driver expertly holds the reins, while two powerful horses stand poised to carry them all forward. Intriguingly, amidst this crowd stands a man who exudes an air of wealth and success. This enigmatic figure is none other than the millionaire himself; his confident demeanor sets him apart from those around him. As we delve into Harte's tale, we are left wondering about the origins of his fortune and what adventures lie ahead for this intriguing character. Overend's meticulous attention to detail brings every element to life – from the expressions on each face to the intricate design of the stagecoach itself. This print serves as both a visual feast and an invitation for our imaginations to wander through time. As we gaze upon this enchanting engraving, we are transported into a world where rough-and-ready pioneers seek their fortunes amidst rugged landscapes and untamed frontiers. It is through art like this that history comes alive before our very eyes.
