EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Maruja, by Bret Harte" transports us to a moment of profound emotion and anticipation. The engraving, created by Richard Caton Woodville II in 1885, beautifully captures the essence of this literary masterpiece. In this scene, we find ourselves amidst a room filled with raised desks and worn-out furniture. The atmosphere is heavy with endurance and philosophical contemplation. As we gaze upon the faces of those present, we witness a range of emotions - hope, fear, anguish, and anxiety. The central figure is Maruja herself; her eyes betraying both familiarity and uncertainty. She sits patiently on one side of the room, awaiting the arrival of a doctor who may hold the key to her fate. Her posture suggests an inner turmoil as she grapples with her situation. Surrounding Maruja are individuals from different walks of life - a tramp seeking solace in literature by Bret Harte's words or perhaps finding comfort in shared suffering. Each person carries their own burden; united in their collective sense of despair. Woodville's masterful depiction allows us to immerse ourselves into this gripping narrative without even reading a single sentence. We can almost hear whispered conversations filled with trepidation and feel the weighty silence that hangs in the air. This print serves as a poignant reminder that within moments of great distress lies an opportunity for resilience and strength to emerge – reminding us all that even amidst fear and anguish there is always hope lingering just beneath
