EDITORS COMMENTS
This poignant photo print, titled "Polly, 1893" captures the essence of a young girl's sadness in the late 19th century. Created by artist Ernest Borough Johnson, this piece is based on his own sketch of Polly. The monochrome composition emphasizes the depth of emotion conveyed through her expression. The image portrays a sense of loneliness and unhappiness that resonates with viewers even today. Polly's downcast eyes and pensive gaze evoke feelings of regret and rejection. Her solitary figure stands as a symbol for anyone who has experienced heartache or isolation. Published in The Studio, Volume Eight in London during 1898, this etching showcases Johnson's mastery at capturing human emotions through art. Despite being over a century old, the print remains timeless in its ability to elicit empathy from those who observe it. As we contemplate Polly's sorrowful countenance frozen in time, we are reminded that sadness transcends generations and connects us all as human beings. This powerful portrait serves as a testament to the enduring impact of art and its ability to convey complex emotions beyond language or time periods. Through this print collector's lens, we glimpse into both the past and our shared humanity—a reminder that amidst progress and change throughout history, certain emotions remain constant across centuries.
