EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases William Lee Hankey's stunning illustration for "The Deserted Village" by Oliver Goldsmith. The artwork, created using the technique of colour lithography, is part of a private collection and captures the essence of Goldsmith's poem. In this particular scene, we are transported to a serene hawthorn bush adorned with seats beneath its comforting shade. It becomes evident that these seats were purposefully crafted for both talking age and whispering lovers. Hankey masterfully brings to life the idyllic setting described in Goldsmith's work. "The Deserted Village" is a renowned poem written by Oliver Goldsmith and published in 1770. It reflects upon the impact of rural depopulation caused by economic changes during that time period. Through his artistry, Hankey beautifully encapsulates the spirit and emotion conveyed within Goldsmith's verses. As we gaze at this remarkable piece, we can almost feel ourselves being transported into an era where nature was cherished and conversations held under hawthorn bushes were filled with wisdom or whispered words of love. This artwork serves as a testament to Hankey's skill as an artist and his ability to bring literature to life through visual representation. Bridgeman Images has once again provided us with an exceptional glimpse into history through their fine art finder collection.
