EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a precious artifact from the past - a letter written by the renowned poet Elizabeth Barrett Browning to Henry F Chorley in 1859. The image captures the essence of Victorian literature and art, with its delicate colors and exquisite handwriting. In this letter, sent from Siena, Italy, Barrett Browning shares an additional stanza for her poem A Tale of Villa Franca. She explains why it was omitted from a recent copy printed in the Atheneum on September 24th. Beyond discussing matters related to poetry and literature, she also delves into the state of Italian politics since the Battle of Solferino. The photograph transports us back to the 19th century, allowing us to witness this intimate correspondence between two prominent figures in their respective fields. It offers a glimpse into their intellectual exchange and sheds light on their thoughts about war, society, and artistic expression during that time. As we admire this facsimile created by Elizabeth Barrett herself as part of her series on royal autographs at the British Museum, we are reminded of her brilliance as both a poet and artist. This print serves as a testament to her enduring legacy within literary circles while providing valuable insight into historical events that shaped Italy's political landscape. Overall, this print is not only visually stunning but also holds great cultural significance as it encapsulates elements such as literature, politics, artistry, and history within its frame.
