EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Guilty" captures a pivotal moment from Vol. II of Anthony Trollope's renowned novel, Orley Farm. Created by the talented artist John Everett Millais in 1862, this engraving showcases a scene filled with intense emotions and hidden secrets. The image portrays an interior setting where a confession is taking place. A sense of shame and guilt hangs heavy in the air as we witness Lady Mason, played by Lucius Mother, on bended knee before a beautifully crafted bureau. Her face reflects both remorse and desperation as she begs for forgiveness. The story revolves around a forged codicil attached to Sir Joseph Mason's will concerning the inheritance of Orley Farm. The aged lover, Sir Peregrine Orme, plays a significant role in this tale of deceit and betrayal. Millais masterfully captures the Victorian era's essence through his attention to detail and use of light and shadow. The composition draws us into the intimate space where this crucial confession unfolds. As we gaze upon this evocative artwork, we are reminded that even in times past, human nature remains unchanged; guilt can consume us all. This print serves as an enduring reminder of the power of truth-seeking and redemption within society's complex web.
