Madge Wildfire - A Captivating Character from the Pages of Romance
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print showcases Madge Wildfire, a beloved character brought to life in William Nicholson's "Characters of Romance" first published in 1900. The vivid color lithograph captures the essence of this enigmatic figure, who has captivated readers for over a century. Madge Wildfire is depicted here with her fiery spirit and unconventional beauty. Her coarse yet alluring features are accentuated by her masculine dress and broken feathers adorning her hair. This portrayal perfectly embodies the complex nature of Madge, whose story unfolds within Sir Walter Scott's novel "The Heart of Midlothian". As we gaze upon this image, we can almost feel the intensity emanating from Madge's piercing eyes. She stands amidst a bed of vibrant flowers, symbolizing both her delicate femininity and untamed wildness. Magdalen Murdockson, also known as Highland Bonner, expertly brings out these contrasting qualities through his masterful illustration. This print not only celebrates Madge Wildfire but also pays homage to Sir Walter Scott himself – an iconic literary figure whose works have left an indelible mark on English literature. Through this artwork, we are transported back to the early 19th century when tales like "The Heart of Midlothian" enthralled readers worldwide. With its rich history and timeless allure, this stunning illustration serves as a reminder that great characters transcend time and continue to inspire
