EDITORS COMMENTS
In this engraving titled "We Are Seven!" by Frederick William Hulme, we are transported back to the enchanting world of William Wordsworth's renowned poem. The print, now part of a private collection, beautifully captures the essence of this timeless literary work. The scene depicted in the engraving is filled with both innocence and melancholy. We see two young children standing amidst a picturesque countryside landscape, their faces radiating youthful joy. Their playful demeanor suggests an obliviousness to life's complexities. Yet, as we delve deeper into the image, we notice a subtle hint of sadness lurking beneath their smiles. The title itself hints at a profound theme - despite only seeing two figures before us, there are seven individuals alluded to in Wordsworth's poem. This discrepancy between perception and reality invites contemplation on themes such as loss and mortality. Hulme skillfully brings these emotions to life through his intricate engravings. His attention to detail is evident in every stroke; from the delicate textures of nature surrounding the children to their expressive features that convey both innocence and wisdom beyond their years. This historical artwork not only pays homage to one of literature's greatest poets but also serves as a visual reminder that even within simplicity lies complexity. It encourages viewers to reflect upon our own perceptions and question what lies beneath the surface when encountering others' stories or experiences.
