EDITORS COMMENTS
This black and white print depicts a poignant scene from Thomas Hardy's classic novel, "Tess of the D'Urbervilles," published in 1891. The image, created by renowned German-British artist Hubert von Herkomer, was first published in "The Graphic: An Illustrated Weekly Newspaper." In the scene, a weary and exhausted Tess, played by a female figure lying down on the grass, gazes off into the distance with a look of resignation. Something unseen, represented by a mere dot on the horizon, seems to be moving towards her. The setting is the English countryside, with the silhouette of ancient standing stones, reminiscent of Stonehenge in Wiltshire, visible in the background. The scene exudes a sense of desolation and despair, reflecting the exhaustion and fleeing that Tess experiences throughout the novel. Herkomer masterfully captures the Victorian era's mood and the emotional depth of Hardy's story, making this print a must-have for any literature or art enthusiast.
