EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning drypoint print, titled "The Monarch," showcases the awe-inspiring beauty of a towering tree located along the banks of the Kalgan River in Western Australia, circa 1918. The artist, Henri Benedictus van Raalte, masterfully captures the tree's grandeur and the vastness of its surroundings with intricate detail and depth. The tree, with its gnarled trunk and sprawling branches, stands as a testament to the resilience and endurance of nature. The river, stretching an impressive 140 kilometres in the background, adds to the sense of scale and serenity. The delicate lines and textures of the print evoke a sense of tranquility and wonder, inviting the viewer to imagine the untouched beauty of this remote landscape. Van Raalte's use of the drypoint technique adds an additional layer of depth and texture to the print, with the ink seemingly brought to life by the subtle grooves and indentations on the surface. The print is a reminder of the power and majesty of nature, and the importance of preserving and appreciating its beauty. This historic print, part of the March of the Women Collection from Mary Evans Prints Online, offers a glimpse into the past and serves as a reminder of the importance of conservation and the appreciation of the natural world. The Monarch is not only a work of art, but a reminder of the enduring power and beauty of nature.
