The Mayor of Casterbridge
EDITORS COMMENTS
by Thomas Hardy, published in The Graphic: A Weekly Illustrated Newspaper in 1886, features this evocative image titled "The Man before her was not Henchard" created by Robert Barnes. The Victorian-era scene unfolds in a quaint English countryside setting, where a surprised woman stands in the doorway of a rustic home, her gaze fixed on a man before her. Dressed in the fashionable attire of the era, the woman wears a voluminous black dress with a high collar and intricate lace detailing, while the man, dressed in a simple, dark suit, appears to be a farmer or laborer. The expression on the woman's face conveys a sense of shock and disbelief, suggesting that the man before her is not the man she was expecting. The engraving captures the unexpected nature of the scene, with the contrast between the woman's elegant attire and the man's plain clothing adding to the intrigue. The image is a visual representation of the unexpected twists and turns found in Thomas Hardy's novel, "The Mayor of Casterbridge," which explores themes of fate, regret, and the consequences of past actions. This print invites the viewer to ponder the mystery of the scene and the emotions of the characters, making it a fascinating addition to any collection of 19th-century literature, art, or fashion.
