EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print titled "Mr Tennyson, Reading In Memoriam to his Sovereign, 1904" artist Max Beerbohm beautifully captures a moment of literary reverence and royal admiration. The illustration is part of Beerbohm's collection, The Poets Corner, published in London in 1904. The image portrays the renowned poet Alfred Lord Tennyson reading his heartfelt poem "In Memoriam" to Queen Victoria. As the Victorian era was known for its deep appreciation of literature and poetry, this scene symbolizes the profound connection between art and monarchy during that time. Queen Victoria, depicted as a regal figure with her crown and elegant attire, attentively listens to Tennyson's recitation. Her presence adds an air of importance and respect to the occasion while highlighting her role as a patroness of the arts. Tennyson himself is portrayed with great detail by Beerbohm. His intense gaze reflects both his passion for his craft and his dedication to honoring Queen Victoria through his poetic tribute. Through vibrant colors and intricate caricature techniques, Beerbohm brings this historical moment to life on paper. This artwork not only celebrates two influential figures from the 19th century but also serves as a testament to their lasting impact on British literature and culture.
