EDITORS COMMENTS
This 1891 engraving from the Liszt Collection transports us to the world of Thomas Hardy's renowned novel, "Tess of the d'Urbervilles". The image depicts a scene described in vivid detail within the text: a plantation where Tess finds temporary refuge. As our eyes explore this print, we are drawn to its remarkable clarity and intricate illustrative technique. The plantation stretches out before us, reaching towards a peak that marks its end. Beyond the hedge lies arable ground, hinting at both nature's bounty and human cultivation. Underneath majestic trees, scores of pheasants rest peacefully on the ground. Their vibrant plumage is strikingly contrasted by bloodstains that tell tales of their recent hunt. This vintage engraving captures not only an important moment in literature but also reflects Victorian arts and culture through its retro-styled composition. The meticulous engravement showcases a level of craftsmanship rarely seen today. As we gaze upon this print, we cannot help but be transported back in time - immersed in an era when such illustrations were highly valued and appreciated for their ability to bring stories to life visually. This particular image serves as a testament to both artistic skill and historical significance.
