EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the enchanting tale of "King Cophetha and the beggar maid" brought to life through the intricate illustration by Walter Paget. Published in Tennyson Pictures by E P Dutton & Co around 1900, this colour lithograph transports us to a world of grandeur and contrast. In this scene, we witness King Cophetha, resplendent in his royal attire, standing alongside his guards within the opulent palace walls. The servants bustling about add an air of authenticity to the setting, while their costumes exude elegance and sophistication. Amidst this regal splendor stands the beggar maid herself – a figure of ethereal beauty amidst her humble surroundings. The composition skillfully captures both the stark divide between social classes and the transformative power of love. As Tennyson's poignant words come alive through Paget's artistry, we are reminded that true beauty lies not only in external appearances but also in one's character and spirit. This image serves as a visual testament to Tennyson's timeless poetry and prose which have resonated with readers for generations. It invites us into a world where even kings can be moved by compassion for those less fortunate – where love transcends societal boundaries. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece from Bridgeman Images' private collection, we are transported back in time to an era when storytelling was elevated through stunning visuals like these. It is a reminder that art has always had the power to capture
