EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative black-and-white photograph captures a pivotal moment from R.D. Blackmore's classic novel, "Lorna Doone" (1869), set against the rugged backdrop of 17th century Exmoor. In the scene, the dashing and determined John Ridd (portrayed here by an unidentified actor) encounters the enigmatic Lorna Doone (played by actress Ivy St Helier), a member of the notorious Doone clan. The Doones were a real-life group of notorious bandits and outlaws who terrorized the Exmoor region during this time. John Ridd, a brave and resourceful young man, is on a quest to protect his family and avenge a long-standing feud between his kin and the Doones. Lorna, however, is no ordinary Doone; she is kind-hearted and innocent, and has been held captive by her family against her will. Their chance encounter sets the stage for a tumultuous and passionate love story that transcends the harsh realities of their feud-ridden world. This photograph, dated 1937, is a testament to the enduring appeal of Blackmore's novel and the timeless nature of its characters and their story. The image captures the essence of the novel's themes of love, loyalty, and the struggle for justice in a time of lawlessness and chaos. The hauntingly beautiful landscape of Exmoor serves as a fitting backdrop to this iconic scene, transporting us back to a bygone era and inviting us to lose ourselves in the pages of this classic work of English literature.
