EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the original manuscript of the Epilogue to the Idylls of the King, a remarkable poetic work by Alfred Lord Tennyson. Created in 1872, this manuscript was specifically addressed to Queen Victoria and holds great historical significance. The artist himself, Tennyson, added the title and ascription to this masterpiece, while his son generously donated it. The photograph captures not only the beauty of Tennyson's handwriting but also provides a glimpse into Victorian-era literature and poetry. With its vibrant colors and intricate details, this print truly brings alive the essence of 19th-century artistry. As one delves into this image, they are transported back in time to an era where monarchs held immense power and poets were revered as laureates. The manuscript itself is an ode to King Arthur and his legendary tales from which Tennyson drew inspiration for his Idylls of the King. This print serves as a testament to both Tennyson's literary genius and Queen Victoria's influence during her reign over Great Britain and Ireland. It is a treasure that offers us a rare glimpse into history through words penned by one of England's most celebrated poets. With every stroke captured on paper, we witness not just ink on parchment but also emotions woven together with skillful mastery. This image invites us to appreciate not only the artistry behind these words but also their enduring impact on our collective imagination.
