EDITORS COMMENTS
In this engraving titled "The Maiden's Wish" created by Joseph Felon in the 19th century, we are transported to a world of longing and desire. The image showcases a young maiden lost in her thoughts, her gaze fixed upon something unseen. Her delicate features and graceful posture exude innocence and purity. This illustration was originally featured in the renowned publication Pictus Orbis or Book of Beauty for Every Table, curated by A. H. Payne around 1860. It is evident that Felon's mastery lies not only in his technical skill but also in his ability to capture complex emotions within a single frame. "The Maiden's Wish" invites us to ponder the depths of love and yearning experienced by young maidens throughout history. It serves as a poignant reminder of the universal nature of desire and its timeless presence within human hearts. This print, now part of a private collection, has been preserved meticulously over time, allowing us to appreciate every intricate detail with awe-inspiring clarity. As we observe this historical artwork today, it continues to evoke feelings of nostalgia while reminding us that the pursuit of love is an enduring theme that transcends generations. Bridgeman Images presents this remarkable piece from their Fine Art Finder collection—an invaluable resource for those seeking glimpses into our rich artistic heritage.
