EDITORS COMMENTS
Though Lost to Sight, to Memory Dear (chromolitho) captures a poignant moment in time, as depicted by the talented artist John Seymour Lucas. This mesmerizing print, now part of a private collection, showcases the power of memory and its ability to preserve cherished moments. The scene unfolds within the pages of The Graphic's Christmas Number from 1879. Amidst an atmosphere filled with jesters and merriment, Lucas masterfully portrays individuals who have lost their sight but not their memories. Their faces radiate joy and camaraderie as they revel in each other's company. However, beyond the joviality lies a deeper message that resonates even today. The presence of alcohol is evident throughout the composition; it serves as both a symbol of celebration and escapism. As these figures raise their glasses in unison, we are reminded of how drinking can be intertwined with our most treasured memories. Lucas skillfully employs chromolithography techniques to bring this enchanting scene to life. Vibrant colors dance across the print, capturing every detail with meticulous precision. 'Though Lost to Sight, to Memory Dear' invites us into a world where sight may fade but memories endure forever. It encourages us to cherish those special moments that shape our lives and reminds us that sometimes what is truly important cannot be seen with our eyes alone.
