EDITORS COMMENTS
Plate 1 for Oliver Goldsmith's 'The Vicar of Wakefield' by Daniel Berger (1776): This etching, created by the German artist Daniel Berger in the 1770s, is Plate 1 from Oliver Goldsmith's renowned novel, 'The Vicar of Wakefield.' The scene depicts a fallen horseman, dressed in the attire of a country gentleman, being saved by a woman and a man on horseback. The geographical feature in the background suggests a rural setting, possibly in Britain or Ireland. The text below the image reads, "Saving a Fallen Rider," a fitting title for this poignant moment in the novel. The black and white contrast adds depth and drama to the image, highlighting the intricate details of the animals, the people, and the textured landscape. Daniel Berger's skillful etching not only illustrates the narrative of Goldsmith's work but also captures the essence of the 18th century, making it an invaluable addition to the heritage of art and literature. This print is currently housed at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, where it continues to inspire and intrigue viewers, inviting them to explore the rich history and cultural significance of this timeless tale.
