EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a pivotal moment in Thomas Hardy's tragic masterpiece, "Tess of the D'Urbervilles". Plate 21 from the monthly serialization of the novel showcases Tess being harassed by Alec D'Urberville, portrayed with haunting realism by Hubert von Herkomer. The image is accompanied by a powerful quote that perfectly encapsulates the tension and unease felt in this scene. As Tess approaches the fire to discard some dead weeds, she discovers Alec doing the same on the opposite side. The unexpectedness of his presence and his grotesque appearance in an old-fashioned smock frock sends shivers down her spine. In this lithograph, we witness D'Urberville leering at Tess with a lecherous gaze while emitting a chilling laugh. The illustration masterfully depicts both the comicality and horror of this encounter. It highlights Alec's threatening nature as he harasses our tragic heroine, emphasizing his status as a cad who takes advantage of his position over her. This Victorian-era portrayal serves as a stark reminder of how women were often subjected to harassment and mistreatment. Printed in The Graphic in 1891, this artwork continues to resonate today for its ability to capture such complex emotions within one frame. It stands as a testament to Hardy's skillful storytelling and Herkomer's artistic talent. A true gem from English literature brought vividly to life through visual representation.
