The Ms at Ems, 1869
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a delightful pen and ink caricature by Dante Gabriel Charles Rossetti that captures the humor and intimacy of William Morris and his wife Jane during their visit to Ems in the summer of 1869. The couple had traveled to this spa town due to concerns about Jane's health. In this whimsical artwork, we see Morris engrossed in reading Volume 2 of Earthly Paradise to his beloved wife while she relaxes in a bathtub. With seven cups of spa water beside her, Jane indulges herself as she listens attentively to her husband's storytelling. Rossetti's keen sense of humor shines through as he playfully depicts this private moment between the couple. The cartoon-like style adds an element of lightness and charm to the scene, emphasizing the affectionate bond shared by William and Jane. This print offers a glimpse into the lives of two prominent figures from the Pre-Raphaelite movement, showcasing their love for literature, art, and each other. It serves as a reminder that even amidst concerns for one's well-being, moments of joy can be found in simple pleasures like sharing stories with loved ones. With its intricate details and humorous undertones, "The Ms at Ems" invites viewers to appreciate both the artistic talent behind it and the warmth within Morris' marriage.
