EDITORS COMMENTS
A Moment of Devotion: An Engraving of a Historical Marriage Proposal as Depicted in Wilkie Collins' "Blind Love" (ILN, August 24, 1889) This exquisite engraving captures a tender moment of devotion and commitment as a young man bends the knee in a heartfelt marriage proposal. The image, published in the Illustrated London News (ILN) on August 24, 1889, accompanied Wilkie Collins' captivating story "Blind Love." Collins, a renowned English writer, penned this tale of love and sacrifice, which resonated deeply with readers during the late 19th century. In the story, the young man, driven by his unwavering love for the blind heroine, goes to great lengths to ensure her happiness, ultimately proposing to her in a poignant and romantic gesture. The engraving, with its intricate details and delicate shading, beautifully illustrates this pivotal moment in the narrative. The young man, dressed in fashionable attire of the era, is shown on one knee, his eyes filled with emotion as he kisses the hand of the young woman, who is depicted with a look of surprise and delight. This historical engraving, imported from Mary Evans Prints Online, offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us to a time when such romantic gestures were commonplace and deeply cherished. The image, with its timeless appeal and enduring message of love and commitment, continues to captivate and inspire us today. Collins' "Blind Love" is a testament to the power of love and the lengths one will go to for the one they hold dear. This engraving, with its poignant depiction of a marriage proposal, is a visual representation of that enduring theme and a beautiful addition to any collection of historical illustrations or romantic art.
