EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Miss Havisham" is a stunning piece of art created by Harry Furniss in the early 20th century. It is part of the Testimonial Edition published in 1910 for Charles Dickens' renowned novel Great Expectations. The illustration depicts Miss Havisham, one of Dickens' most memorable characters, with great detail and emotion. She stands as a symbol of social expectations and unfulfilled dreams, dressed in her decaying wedding gown. The artist's skillful sketching brings out the classical Victorian era ambiance that surrounds Miss Havisham. Furniss beautifully captures the essence of this tragic character through his masterful use of lines and shading. Each stroke tells a story - one filled with longing, heartbreak, and lost love. As we gaze upon this print, we are transported back to 19th-century England where Dickens' literary genius thrived. This artwork serves as a testament to both Furniss' talent as an illustrator and Dickens' brilliance as a writer. Their collaboration has left an indelible mark on literature and continues to captivate audiences today. Ken Welsh's Fine Art Finder allows us to appreciate this remarkable piece from the comfort of our own homes while reminding us of the enduring power that art holds in preserving history and storytelling across generations.
