EDITORS COMMENTS
This print of "Tess of the D'Urbervilles, 1923" takes us back to the enchanting world created by Thomas Hardy. The artist behind this masterpiece is none other than Hubert von Herkomer, known for his exceptional talent in capturing emotions through his engravings. In this illustration, we see a solemn scene set against the backdrop of a stormy night on the heath. A gravestone stands as a haunting reminder of Tess's tragic fate and her passionate journey through life. The countryside location adds an air of authenticity to the story, immersing us in the rural landscape that played such a significant role in Tess's experiences. The portrayal of Tess herself is strikingly powerful; she embodies both vulnerability and strength as she confronts her destiny head-on. This image also hints at the complex relationships between men and women during that era, with a couple depicted nearby who may symbolize some of these dynamics explored throughout Hardy's novel. Published in John Drinkwater's "The Outline of Literature" in 1923, this print serves as a visual representation of one of literature's most profound works from the early 20th century. It captures not only the essence of Thomas Hardy's writing but also showcases Herkomer's artistic prowess and attention to detail. As we gaze upon this evocative portrait, we are transported into Tess's world—a world filled with passion, struggle, and ultimately tragedy—leaving an indelible mark on
