EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "She caused the rock to shut down, 1905" transports us back to the enchanting world of King Arthur and his legendary Round Table. Created by artist Dora Curtis, this illustration brings to life a pivotal moment from the classic tale. Vivien, a cunning sorceress, turns against her own master Merlin in an act of betrayal that forever changes their fate. Intriguingly depicted in monochrome, we witness Vivien's deceptive plan unfold as she tricks Merlin into entering a mystical rock which she promptly closes upon him. This powerful image is taken from the first edition of "Stories of King Arthur and the Round Table" by Beatrice Clay, published in 1905. The photograph captures not only the magical elements but also reflects on themes such as power dynamics and gender roles prevalent during that era. It showcases Vivien as a strong-willed female character who defies societal expectations by outsmarting her male counterpart. With its rich historical context and mythical allure, this artwork serves as a reminder of Britain's deep-rooted legends and folklore. The skillful craftsmanship exhibited by Dora Curtis beautifully conveys the tension between good and evil within this iconic story. As we gaze at this mesmerizing print, we are transported into an age where magic intertwines with reality—a testament to both human imagination and our fascination with tales passed down through generations.
