The Legitimate Ending
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating chromolitho print that transports us back to the enchanting world of 19th-century illustration. Created by Solomon Joseph Solomon, this masterpiece captures a pivotal moment in time, as depicted in The Graphic's Christmas Number of 1899. The scene unfolds on the vast expanse of water, where a magnificent boat glides gracefully through the waves. At its helm stands an imposing figure - God himself - his divine presence visible through his outstretched arm and commanding gaze. With one hand firmly gripping the rudder, he guides this vessel towards its "legitimate ending". As we delve deeper into this artwork, our attention is drawn to the intricate details meticulously rendered by Solomon. The boat itself seems alive with movement; every line and stroke expertly conveying both power and grace. We can almost hear the rattling sound emanating from within as it sails forth under God's watchful eye. This print also pays homage to F Frankfort Moore's novel "Drayton" which tells tales of adventure set against a backdrop of maritime transport. A tugboat accompanies our protagonist on their journey, symbolizing support and assistance along life's tumultuous waters. "The Legitimate Ending" is not just an exquisite work of art but also a testament to human resilience and determination. It reminds us that even in uncertain times, there is always hope for reaching our destined conclusion – guided by faith or fate – as we navigate the ever-changing tides of life’s voyage.
