This print from the Liszt Collection transports us back to the Victorian era, immersing us in the world of Thomas Hardy's renowned novel, "Tess of the d'Urbervilles". The image captures a pivotal moment in the story, as described by Hardy himself: "In stagnant blackness they waited through an interval which seemed endless". The engraving, created in 1891 using intricate illustrative techniques, showcases the artistry and craftsmanship of that time. Its retro-styled appearance adds a touch of nostalgia and vintage charm to any space it graces. The scene depicted is shrouded in darkness and uncertainty.
