EDITORS COMMENTS
Blind Love, a captivating engraving by Amedee Forestier after Wilkie Collins, transports us to the world of Victorian literature. This powerful image, part of The Illustrated London News in 1889, evokes a sense of drama and fear that resonates with the reader. The scene depicts a moment of intense emotion as Mrs. Vimpany, one of Collins' memorable characters, experiences anguish and anxiety. Her eyes are blindfolded symbolizing her metaphorical blindness to the true nature of love. With her hands clasped tightly together and a look of horror on her face, she conveys the depths of her emotional turmoil. The presence of domestic staff in the background adds an additional layer to this narrative. They observe Mrs. Vimpany's distress but remain silent witnesses to her suffering—a reflection perhaps on societal norms and power dynamics during that era. Collins' masterful storytelling shines through this illustration as it captures his ability to evoke complex emotions within his readership. The engraving invites us into a world where love can be both beautiful and terrifying—where trust is tested and hearts are broken. As we gaze upon this print from Fine Art Finder's collection, we cannot help but feel drawn into Mrs. Vimpany's plight—an emblematic representation not only for Collins' work but also for our own human experience.
