EDITORS COMMENTS
Plate 10 for Oliver Goldsmith's 'The Vicar of Wakefield' (1776): A Heartfelt Embrace This poignant etching by Daniel Berger, Plate 10 from Oliver Goldsmith's 'The Vicar of Wakefield' (1776), captures a tender moment between a couple in an indoor setting. The scene takes place in the vicarage, as depicted in Goldsmith's popular novel of the same name. The novel, set in eighteenth-century Britain, tells the story of the Vicar of Wakefield and his family, who experience various trials and tribulations. In this illustration, a man, presumably the Vicar, stands with his arms around a woman, who appears to be his wife. They are seated on a bench, with their children gathered around them, creating a warm and loving atmosphere. The couple's embrace conveys a sense of comfort and security, as they protect and cherish their family in the midst of adversity. Daniel Berger, a German artist, expertly captures the essence of this scene through his skillful etching techniques. The black and white image, with its intricate details and delicate shading, transports us back to the 1770s and invites us to ponder the depths of human emotion and the importance of family. This illustration, with its timeless message and beautiful composition, is a valuable addition to the collection of the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA). It serves as a reminder of the enduring power of literature and the art that brings it to life, allowing us to connect with the past and appreciate the complexities of human experience.
