EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative image captures the enchanting and determined spirit of Jan Fry, a beloved character from Lorna Doone, one of the most enduring novels of romantic fiction. Set in 17th century England, the story follows the adventures of Lorna Doone, a young woman who falls in love with John Ridd, a gallant and daring outsider, despite the objections of her cruel and tyrannical uncle, Sir Maltravers. Jan Fry, played by the captivating Janey Crofts in the 1908 silent film adaptation of the novel, is depicted here in this stunning photograph. Dressed in a simple yet elegant gown, her expressive eyes convey a deep sense of longing and resilience. The soft focus and ethereal quality of the image add to the dreamlike atmosphere of the story, transporting us back in time to the rugged and romantic landscape of Exmoor. Lorna Doone, written by R.D. Blackmore and first published in 1869, has captivated readers for generations with its vivid descriptions of the natural beauty of Exmoor, its intricate plot, and its unforgettable characters. The novel has been adapted numerous times for stage, screen, and radio, and continues to inspire artists, writers, and filmmakers to this day. This photograph of Jan Fry is a beautiful and timeless reminder of the enduring power of literature to transport us to other worlds and to ignite our imaginations. It invites us to explore the story of Lorna Doone and to lose ourselves in the romantic and adventurous world of 17th century England.
