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.

Engravement was a popular technique during the Victorian era, allowing artists to create detailed and precise illustrations with remarkable skill. Whether you are an admirer of arts and culture or simply appreciate timeless beauty, this print invites you to delve into history while adding a touch of elegance to your surroundings.
