EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Death: to be seen. . . in such vulgar attitudes" is an illustration from the renowned novel, The Vicar of Wakefield by Oliver Goldsmith. Created around 1910 by Margaret Jameson, this colour lithograph beautifully captures the essence of Georgian-era entertainment and theatricality. The scene depicted showcases a leisurely gathering around a traditional hearth, with men and women dressed in elaborate costumes. The characters exude both alarm and curiosity as they witness the dramatic entrance of Death himself. Children are seen in awe, their faces filled with wonder at this unexpected announcement. The artist skillfully portrays the vibrant Irish culture through her portrayal of lively Irish characters amidst a primrose backdrop. This illustration brings to life the rich literary heritage that Oliver Goldsmith's novel represents. Through this image, we are transported back in time to experience the amateur drama unfolding within the vicar's family in Wakefield. It serves as a reminder of how literature has always been intertwined with our lives, providing us with moments of entertainment and introspection. As we admire this print from Fine Art Finder's private collection, we can't help but appreciate its ability to capture not only the visual aspects but also evoke emotions associated with death, tradition, and community gatherings.
