1850 Arthur Devices Emily Master Pendennis Suitor Thackeray
EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative image captures a poignant moment from the pages of William Makepeace Thackeray's classic Victorian novel, "Vanity Fair." In the scene, Captain Costigan, played by the distinguished actor John Bowles, takes a leave from his daughter Emily's (portrayed by the elegant Miss Agnes Fraser) presence as she stands with her suitor, Master Arthur Pendennis (portrayed by the dashing Mr. George Alexander). The year is 1850, and the setting is the grand estate of Pendennis, where the young couple's courtship has reached a critical juncture. Captain Costigan, a man of the sea and a seasoned veteran, has come to bid his daughter farewell before embarking on a long voyage. With a heavy heart, he entrusts her to the care of her beloved Arthur, knowing that their union is the best possible outcome for his cherished Emily. The captain's departure marks a significant turning point in the novel, as Emily and Arthur are now free to explore the depths of their feelings for one another, unencumbered by the watchful eye of her father. The room is filled with an air of anticipation and excitement, as the couple gazes into each other's eyes, their hands gently intertwined. The bookshelves in the background, adorned with leather-bound volumes, serve as a reminder of the importance of knowledge and learning in the Victorian era. The richly textured wallpaper, ornate fireplace, and delicate chandelier add to the opulence of the scene, highlighting the wealth and status of the characters. This photograph, taken from Mary Evans Prints Online, transports us back in time to a bygone era, allowing us to witness the intricacies of love, family, and societal expectations as depicted in Thackeray's masterful narrative.
