EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "For Faith and Freedom" transports us back to the late 19th century. Created by Amedee Forestier after a literary illustration by Walter Besant, this print captures the essence of courage, determination, and liberation. In the foreground of the image stands a woman with an expression of unwavering confidence on her face. She sits proudly atop a saddle, symbolizing her freedom and independence. Her full figure exudes joy as she turns her head towards something unseen in the distance. With one hand gripping the reins and another gracefully waving in the air, she seems ready to conquer any challenge that comes her way. The woman's attire reflects both fashionable trends of the era and a sense of purposeful movement. Her clothing billows around her like waves caught in motion, adding an element of dynamism to the scene. The presence of a robin perched nearby adds symbolism - traditionally associated with cheerfulness - further emphasizing her spirit. "For Faith and Freedom" is not just about physical liberation but also represents women's fight for equality during this period. It serves as a reminder that women were breaking free from societal constraints and embracing their own power. This remarkable engraving encapsulates hope for change while celebrating female strength and resilience in pursuit of personal freedom – both literal and metaphorical.
