EDITORS COMMENTS
This 1874 engraving from the Liszt Collection beautifully captures a scene from Wilkie Collins' novel, "The Law and the Lady". The image accompanies Chapter XXVI, titled "More of My Obstinacy" and depicts a pivotal moment in the story. In this intriguing print, we see a strange creature gazing straight ahead between the ears of a pony. Its expression is one of relief as it emits a hoarse grunt. From that point on, it never speaks or looks at anyone for the rest of their journey. The protagonist narrates how they drove past the canal banks, narrowly escaping immersion. The illustrative technique used in this vintage engraving showcases the artistic mastery prevalent during Victorian times. The attention to detail and intricate lines bring life to both characters and setting alike. As we admire this retro-styled artwork, we are transported back in time to an era where engravement was considered an essential form of visual storytelling. This piece serves as a testament to the rich history and cultural significance of arts during that period.
