EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Armorel of Lyonesse, A Romance of To-Day" transports us back to the enchanting world of literature in the late 19th century. Created by Frederick Barnard after a work by Walter Besant, this illustration was originally featured in The Illustrated London News on May 3rd, 1890. The scene depicted is filled with intrigue as two men stand amidst a twilight setting. Their faces are illuminated by the fading light as they attentively watch something or someone beyond our view. The chairs they occupy suggest that they have been waiting patiently for an important encounter. The title suggests that these men are witnessing a pivotal moment in the life of Armorel, the protagonist of Besant's novel. As we gaze upon this print, we cannot help but wonder what lies ahead for her - will she find love? Will she overcome adversity? Barnard's skillful execution allows us to distinguish between each character through their distinct facial expressions and body language. This attention to detail draws us deeper into the narrative and sparks our imagination. As we admire this exquisite piece from Bridgeman Images' private collection, it serves as a reminder of how art can transport us to different worlds and evoke emotions that transcend time. It invites us to explore not only the story within its pages but also our own inner landscapes where dreams and desires reside.
