EDITORS COMMENTS
This print depicts a pivotal moment from Thomas Hardy's classic novel, "Tess of the D'Urbervilles," published in 1891. The scene is brilliantly captured by renowned German-British artist Hubert von Herkomer in his illustration for "The Graphic: An Illustrated Weekly Newspaper." In the image, a concerned mother poses a question to her son, as they sit in a well-appointed English country home. With furrowed brow and a look of seriousness, the mother asks, "Is she of a family such as you would care to marry into - a lady, in short?" The son, depicted as a thoughtful and introspective young man, turns to consider the question, his gaze fixed on an unseen portrait of Tess. The conversation between them is a turning point in the novel, as the son, Angel Clare, grapples with the social stigma attached to Tess's humble background and the potential consequences of their union. The print beautifully encapsulates the themes of love, class, and societal expectations that run throughout Hardy's novel, making it a must-have for any serious collector of Victorian literature or art.
