EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating and romantic illustration by S.E. Waller, published in the February 1896 issue of Cassell's Family Magazine. The image showcases a tender moment between two lovers as they exchange heartfelt letters, each one holding a single greyhound by its leash. The greyhounds, symbolizing swift and loyal love, stand as faithful companions to their respective owners. The scene is set in a cozy, candlelit room, with a fireplace crackling in the background, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere. The woman, dressed in a beautiful Victorian gown, gently caresses her greyhound's head as she reads her lover's words, her eyes filled with emotion. The man, wearing a suit and holding a top hat, gazes intently at his lover through the window, his heart heavy with longing. The title "Love's Messenger" is a nod to the role the greyhounds play in delivering the letters between the lovers. In this era, before the widespread use of telephones and instant messaging, letters were the primary means of communication between those separated by distance. The greyhounds, with their speed and loyalty, served as the perfect messengers to carry the words of love from one heart to another. This beautiful illustration encapsulates the essence of love and longing, and the enduring power of written communication to bridge the gaps between people. It is a testament to the timeless nature of love and the lengths people will go to keep the flame of passion alive, even in the face of separation. The image is a treasure for anyone who has ever experienced the joy and heartache of love, and a reminder of the simple pleasures that can bring people together.
