EDITORS COMMENTS
The Declaration, from 'Illustrated London News', August 29,1868 captures a pivotal moment in history with its intricate wood engraving. This print by William Luson Thomas transports us back to the 17th century, depicting a scene of love and passion in the beautiful region of Brittany, France. In this image, we witness a tender declaration between two lovers - a Breton man and woman. The artist's attention to detail is evident as he skillfully portrays their emotions through subtle gestures and expressions. The woman gazes adoringly at her lover while he passionately declares his affection. Their connection is palpable even in this static representation. This engraving was featured in the renowned 'Illustrated London News' newspaper during the vibrant era of British journalism in the 19th century. It serves as a testament to both artistic excellence and historical documentation. Now housed within the prestigious Metropolitan Museum of Art, this print stands as an enduring symbol of cultural heritage. Frederick Goodall's masterful execution brings life to every stroke on paper, preserving this intimate moment for generations to come. 'The Declaration' invites us into an enchanting world where love transcends time and place. It reminds us that declarations of affection have always been cherished throughout history – whether etched onto paper or whispered softly between two souls.
