EDITORS COMMENTS
In this intriguing photo print, we see the renowned English artist and designer William Morris embarking on a daring adventure in Iceland circa 1871. Depicted in pencil on paper by his close friend Edward Coley Burne-Jones, the image captures Morris's determined spirit as he conquers the formidable challenge of climbing a mountain. Despite his stout figure, Morris fearlessly tackles the treacherous cliff face with an air of humor and resilience. The rear view showcases his struggle against gravity, emphasizing both the difficulty of the ascent and his unwavering determination to reach new heights. As a prominent member of the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood, Morris's artistic talents are well-documented. However, this candid caricature reveals another facet of his personality – that of an adventurous soul seeking inspiration from nature's grandeur. Wearing a cap atop his head and armed with only a pencil in hand, Morris embodies both artist and explorer as he navigates through Iceland's rugged terrain. This whimsical portrayal not only highlights their enduring friendship but also sheds light on Morris's multifaceted persona beyond his contributions to art and design. Preserved in private collection today, this artwork serves as a testament to William Morris's indomitable spirit while offering us a glimpse into an extraordinary moment shared between two influential figures of the Pre-Raphaelite movement.
