EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative print, titled "Tess of the D'Urbervilles: 'This here stooping do fairly make my back'" by Hubert von Herkomer, captures a poignant moment from Thomas Hardy's classic novel of the same name, published in 1891. The scene depicts a farm laborer, his back bent under the weight of his heavy load, as he pauses in the fields of Wessex, England. The rural setting is a testament to the hardworking agricultural community of the Victorian era, where laborers like this man toiled long hours under the sun, their bodies bearing the brunt of the land's demands. Hubert von Herkomer, a renowned painter and graphic artist of the time, expertly conveys the sense of hardship and pain in the laborer's expression, as he leans on his pitchfork, his face etched with lines of exhaustion. The print, originally published in The Graphic: An Illustrated Weekly Newspaper, Volume 44, July to December, 1891, is a powerful reminder of the rural life and the physical labor that defined the agricultural workers of the 19th century. With its rich detail and evocative imagery, this print continues to resonate with audiences today, offering a glimpse into the past and the human condition.
