EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "How very great must the possessor of all these things be" transports us to a scene from Oliver Goldsmith's renowned novel, The Vicar of Wakefield. Illustrated by Margaret Jameson in 1910, this colour lithograph captures the essence of awe and admiration that permeates the story. In this image, we see a young Irish boy standing beside a distinguished gentleman. Dressed in traditional Georgian attire, their grand appearance reflects the grandeur and reverence associated with the characters in Goldsmith's literary masterpiece. The boy gazes up at the man with apprehension and wonderment, his eyes filled with both excitement and trepidation. The composition beautifully portrays the contrast between youth and experience, innocence and wisdom. It encapsulates a moment where an impressionable child is captivated by someone who possesses everything he aspires to become. We can almost feel his admiration for this figure who seems larger than life. Through this artwork, Jameson skillfully conveys not only the visual details but also evokes emotions tied to literature itself. The illustration invites us into a world where characters come alive before our eyes, leaving us impressed by their depth and complexity. As we gaze upon this print from our private collection, we are reminded of how literature has the power to transport us beyond time and space – allowing us to witness moments like these that continue to resonate through generations.
