EDITORS COMMENTS
This chromolitho print titled "Preparing for a Nightmare" transports us to the 19th century, offering a glimpse into an intriguing scene. The image showcases a group of individuals engrossed in various activities as they prepare for what seems to be an impending nightmare. In this vivid illustration from The Graphic's Christmas Number in 1878, we are presented with a rich tapestry of elements that evoke curiosity and intrigue. A table adorned with delectable pork pies and flickering candles suggests that the characters are indulging in a sumptuous feast before retiring for the night. Meanwhile, books scattered across the room hint at their intellectual pursuits and love for literature. The juxtaposition of food, reading materials, and eerie ambiance creates an atmosphere tinged with both anticipation and apprehension. As we delve deeper into this enigmatic composition, it becomes evident that these individuals may be preparing themselves mentally or emotionally for unsettling dreams or nightmares. Through its intricate details and meticulous execution, this artwork invites us to ponder the significance of our own nocturnal experiences. It reminds us that even within our most mundane activities such as dining or studying textbooks lies the potential for something extraordinary – whether it be enlightening or haunting. Bridgeman Images' reproduction allows us to appreciate every nuance of this thought-provoking piece while immersing ourselves in its mysterious narrative.
