EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases an exquisite illustration for "Peveril of the Peak" by Stewart Orr. The artwork, a colour lithograph, is part of a private collection and depicts a scene filled with intrigue and mystery. The image transports us to a narrow opening, closely grated, where only the delicate hand of a woman can be seen waving a white handkerchief. This evocative moment from Sir Walter Scott's novel comes to life through Alice F Jackson's retelling. The composition beautifully captures the tension and anticipation surrounding this enigmatic encounter. The artist's attention to detail is evident in every stroke, as he skillfully portrays the intricate patterns of the grating and the graceful movement of the woman's handkerchief against her pale skin. The contrast between darkness and light adds depth to this mesmerizing piece. As we gaze upon this illustration, we are transported back in time to witness an important turning point in Peveril's story. It ignites our curiosity about what lies beyond that narrow opening and leaves us yearning for more. Bridgeman Images has once again curated an exceptional work that not only pays homage to classic literature but also serves as a testament to Orr's artistic prowess. This print is sure to captivate art enthusiasts who appreciate both fine craftsmanship and storytelling at its finest.
