EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving titled "Blind Love" transports us back to the literary world of 19th-century England. Created by Amedee Forestier, a renowned artist of his time, this print beautifully captures a scene from Wilkie Collins' novel. In the illustration, we see a corner of a bustling cafe filled with tables and chairs. Amidst the crowd sits our protagonist, engrossed in deep contemplation. His hat rests on the table beside him as he gazes into space with an air of melancholy. The title "Blind Love" hints at the dangerous allure that love can possess over one's heart and mind. The man's eyes are closed, symbolizing his surrender to passion without considering its consequences. This visual metaphor draws us deeper into Collins' narrative, inviting us to ponder the complexities of human emotions. Forestier's meticulous attention to detail is evident in every stroke of his pen; from the intricate patterns on the furniture to the play of light and shadow across each surface. Through this masterful technique, he brings life to Collins' characters and settings. As we admire this remarkable piece from Bridgeman Images' collection, we are reminded once again why literary illustrations hold such timeless appeal - they transport us beyond words alone and allow us to immerse ourselves fully in another world.
