EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "First Person Singular (engraving)" captures the essence of a strong-willed woman, portrayed with utmost disregard for societal expectations. Created by Arthur Hopkins in 1885, this engraving showcases a moment of raw emotion and vulnerability. The image depicts a woman lying on a couch, her disarranged clothing and crumpled finery suggesting that she has just experienced an intense emotional outburst. Her tear-stained face reflects the depth of her feelings as she cries unabashedly. The artist masterfully conveys the complexity of human emotions through intricate details such as the cast shadows and subtle lines etched into the engraving. "First Person Singular" invites viewers to delve into their own introspection, questioning what may have caused this woman's tears and contemplating their own moments of emotional release. It serves as a reminder that even in our strongest moments, we are still susceptible to vulnerability. This powerful artwork also offers an intriguing glimpse into Victorian fashion trends, showcasing the intricacies of women's attire during that era. However, it is clear that these external trappings hold no significance compared to the internal turmoil expressed by the subject. With its timeless appeal and evocative mood, "First Person Singular" continues to resonate with audiences today. It stands as a testament to Arthur Hopkins' artistic prowess in capturing human emotion through his engravings while leaving room for personal interpretation.
