EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Maruja" by Bret Harte, transports us to a bygone era of literary brilliance and timeless elegance. Created by Richard Caton Woodville II in 1885, this print captures the essence of the story with exquisite detail. In this scene, we find ourselves immersed in a world where hammocks sway gently under the shade of towering trees. Two women are depicted here, their expressions filled with tenderness and affection. One can almost feel the warmth emanating from their dear friendship as they recline on a bed adorned with intricate patterns. The artist's skillful rendering brings to life not only these characters but also the fashions and furnishings of that era. The women's clothing is beautifully depicted down to every delicate fold and embellishment. The attention to detail extends even to the furniture itself – an ornate bed that exudes opulence. Bret Harte's words come alive through Woodville's artistry, inviting us into a world where stories unfold amidst lush landscapes and richly decorated interiors. This engraving serves as a testament to both Harte's storytelling prowess and Woodville's ability to translate words into visual masterpieces. As we gaze upon this enchanting print, we are reminded of the power of literature and art in capturing moments frozen in time. It invites us to delve deeper into Maruja's narrative while marveling at the beauty created by two creative minds – one through his penmanship, another through his artistic talent
