EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating wood engraving by Henry Wolf, depicting the young and enigmatic character Elaine from Alfred, Lord Tennyson's famous poem "The Lady of Shalott." The image, created in the late 19th century, captures Elaine in a contemplative moment as she sits on the bow of a small ferry boat, her long, flowing hair cascading down her back. The ferryman, a figure from the poem, steers the boat through the tranquil waters, transporting Elaine to the mysterious and uncertain fate that awaits her. The black and white, monochrome image adds to the timeless and ethereal quality of the scene, drawing the viewer into the world of Tennyson's literature. Elaine, dressed in the fashion of the late 1800s, gazes off into the distance, her expression a mixture of sadness, determination, and curiosity. The image is a beautiful and intricate wood engraving, with every detail meticulously etched into the wood. This print, now held in the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA), is a testament to the enduring legacy of both Henry Wolf and Alfred, Lord Tennyson. Wolf's depiction of Elaine is a stunning example of the art of wood engraving, and a reminder of the rich literary and artistic heritage of the 19th century. The image also serves as a poignant reminder of the human condition, as Elaine sets out on her journey, leaving behind the familiar and venturing into the unknown. Whether you are a fan of Tennyson's poetry, an art enthusiast, or simply someone who appreciates the beauty of a well-crafted image, "Elaine, 1897" is sure to captivate and inspire. This wood engraving is a must-see for anyone interested in the history of art, literature, or the human experience.
