EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Armorel of Lyonesse, A Romance of To-Day" takes us back to the enchanting world of literature in the late 19th century. Created by Frederick Barnard after Walter Besant's novel, this illustration was originally published in The Illustrated London News on May 17,1890. The scene depicted here is filled with emotion and intrigue. Armorel, the central character of the story, stands at the forefront as she gazes into the distance with a mix of longing and determination. Her delicate features are beautifully captured by Barnard's skilled hand. Surrounded by domestic scenes that evoke a sense of comfort and familiarity, Armorel's presence adds an air of mystery and adventure to this otherwise ordinary setting. It is as if her spirit cannot be contained within these walls; she yearns for something more. One can almost imagine how readers raved about this enthralling tale when it first hit bookshelves. The engraving itself serves as a visual invitation to dive into Besant's narrative – a romance set in modern times that promises excitement and escapism. Now preserved in a private collection but made accessible through Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder platform, this print allows us to appreciate not only Barnard's artistic talent but also the enduring power of storytelling throughout history.
