EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a series of sketches from the renowned opera "Patience" at the Opera Comique. Created by Harry Furniss, a talented artist of the late 19th century, these engravings beautifully capture the essence and charm of this beloved production. The image transports us back to London in 1881 when "Patience" first graced the stage. The costumes are exquisitely detailed, showcasing love sick maidens adorned with delicate lace and ribbons. The martial eye is drawn to their graceful movements as they express their longing for love. In the center of attention stands a bride, her tear drop glistening under the spotlight. She represents both innocence and vulnerability on her wedding day, capturing our hearts with her poignant expression. The characters depicted in these sketches bring to life Gilbert and Sullivan's witty libretto. We can almost hear Jane Bunthorne's melodious voice resonating through each stroke of Furniss' engraving. This print not only captures a moment in time but also serves as a testament to the enduring power of art in evoking emotions and telling stories. It reminds us that even after centuries have passed, we can still be captivated by an opera that explores themes such as marriage and love with humor and depth. Bridgeman Images has preserved this remarkable piece from its private collection so that we may continue to appreciate its beauty today.
