EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Nada the Lily" transports us back to a wintry scene in 1892. Created by Richard Caton Woodville after H Rider Haggard's renowned novel, this illustration was featured in The Illustrated London News. The print depicts a group of covered wagons trudging through the snow-covered landscape, evoking a sense of adventure and mystery. The oxen pulling the wagons appear weary yet determined, symbolizing the resilience of those embarking on an arduous journey. In the foreground stands Nada the Lily herself, a central character from Haggard's novel. Her delicate figure contrasts against the harsh winter backdrop, representing her vulnerability amidst challenging circumstances. Nada's presence adds an element of intrigue to this visual narrative; we are left wondering about her role and fate within this snowy wilderness. Woodville masterfully captures both the beauty and desolation of nature in his meticulous engravings. His attention to detail is evident in every stroke: from the texture of snowflakes falling gently onto barren branches to each individual wrinkle etched into weathered faces. This enchanting print not only serves as a tribute to literary illustrations but also invites viewers to delve into their own imagination and embark on their own mental journey alongside these characters lost in time.
