EDITORS COMMENTS
This vintage engraving from 1790 titled "Don Dismallo running the literary gantlet" captures a powerful scene of Edmund Burke, dressed as a fool, enduring lashes on his bare back as he bravely runs through a gauntlet formed by his peers. The image is rich in symbolism, with Justice holding a sword and Liberty turning her back on Burke while standing alongside J. F. X. Whyte, an old prisoner from the Bastille who proudly carries a flag adorned with scenes of the French revolution. The artwork showcases the intricate illustrative technique of Victorian engravings and immerses us in a historical moment filled with tension and controversy. It evokes nostalgia for an era when art was used to convey political messages and ignite public discourse. With its retro-styled aesthetic and aged appearance, this historic piece transports us to another time, allowing us to appreciate traditional artistic techniques that have since been replaced by modern methods. The Liszt Collection's commitment to preserving such valuable artifacts ensures that we can still admire these historic artworks today. As we gaze upon this print, we are reminded of the power of art to capture significant moments in history and provoke thought-provoking conversations about society's values.
