EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Terrace Scene" transports us to the enchanting world of Arthurian legend. Created by Gustave Dore in the late 19th century, this print captures a moment from Alfred Lord Tennyson's epic poem collection, "Idylls of the King". The scene unfolds on a grand terrace adorned with intricate architectural details. Guinevere, Queen of Camelot and wife of King Arthur, stands at its center. Her regal presence is heightened by her flowing gown and majestic crown. As we gaze upon this image, we are drawn into the emotional intensity conveyed through Dore's masterful strokes. Guinevere appears deep in thought or perhaps lost in contemplation as she gazes into the distance. The weight of her decisions and actions weighs heavily upon her. This print serves as a visual representation of one of Tennyson's most iconic verses that explores themes such as love, betrayal, honor, and destiny within the realm of Arthurian romance. With every glance at this evocative artwork, we are reminded not only of our fascination with legends but also our enduring connection to timeless tales that continue to captivate generations. It invites us to delve deeper into English literature's rich tapestry while immersing ourselves in mythic worlds where heroes rise and fall amidst trials both internal and external. Bridgeman Images has preserved this exquisite piece for us to appreciate its beauty for years to come – an artistic treasure that brings forth
