EDITORS COMMENTS
This print, titled "The Pilot faints, scene from The Rime of the Ancient Mariner" transports us to a tumultuous moment in Samuel Taylor Coleridge's famous poem. Created by Gustave Dore in 1876, this wood engraving captures the essence of despair and chaos that permeates the narrative. In this particular scene, we witness a hermit-like figure standing amidst crashing waves and an ominous storm. As the mariner recounts his harrowing tale, he reveals how his words caused the pilot to collapse in frightful disbelief. With lips moving but no sound escaping them, the mariner's supernatural encounter proves too much for those around him to bear. Dore masterfully conveys both motion and emotion through intricate lines etched into wood. The intensity of each wave is palpable as they crash against a sinking ship nearby, symbolizing impending doom. The pilot's limp body sprawled on deck adds an element of vulnerability amidst nature's wrath.

It serves as a visual reminder of Coleridge's timeless themes: man versus nature and the consequences of human actions.
