1891 Engraving Back Make Open Tess Dairyman Durbervilles Exclaimed Fairly Shut Stooping

EDITORS COMMENTS
This vintage 1891 engraving captures a powerful moment from Thomas Hardy's classic novel, "Tess of the d'Urbervilles". The image showcases Tess, the protagonist, stooping down in exhaustion as she works in the dairy. Her back is arched and her face displays both determination and weariness. The caption references a quote from the book where the dairyman exclaims, "This here stooping do fairly make my back open and shut!". This statement perfectly encapsulates Tess's physical labor and its toll on her body. It highlights the harsh realities faced by rural workers during Victorian times. The illustrative technique used in this engraved image adds depth to Tess's character. The fine lines and intricate details bring out her emotions while also capturing the essence of Victorian arts and culture. The retro styling further enhances its nostalgic appeal. As we gaze upon this print from Liszt Collection, we are transported back in time to an era when hard work was integral to survival. It serves as a reminder of how literature can immortalize moments that resonate with our shared human experience.
