EDITORS COMMENTS
In this engraving by Gustave Dore, we are transported into the enchanting world of Arthurian legend. Yniol, a wise and weathered figure, stands before Prince Geraint, revealing his once majestic but now ruined castle. The image is taken from "The Dore Gift Book of Illustrations to Tennyson's Idylls of the King" published in 1878. As our eyes explore the intricate details of this print, we can almost hear Yniol recounting tales of valor and chivalry that have echoed through generations. The dilapidated walls stand as a testament to the passage of time and the inevitable decay that befalls even the mightiest structures. This scene captures a pivotal moment in Alfred Lord Tennyson's epic poem "Idylls of the King". It symbolizes not only physical ruin but also serves as an allegory for lost dreams and forgotten glory. Through Yniol's gesture, he imparts wisdom upon Prince Geraint – teaching him about resilience, humility, and learning from past mistakes. Dore's masterful engraving technique brings life to every stroke on paper. His attention to detail allows us to immerse ourselves fully in this mythical realm where legends come alive. As viewers, we become witnesses to an extraordinary encounter between two characters whose destinies intertwine within the vast tapestry of English literature. This print is more than just a visual representation; it is an invitation for us to delve deeper into these timeless
