EDITORS COMMENTS
This black and white lithograph, titled "Under the Red Robe" by Stanley J Weyman, takes us back in time to the literary world of 19th-century France. The scene depicts a group of men gathered around a table in a dimly lit public house, their red robes indicating their affiliation with the clergy. As they loll about, one man leads them in song while others join in merrily. The artist Richard Caton Woodville skillfully captures the essence of camaraderie and revelry through his meticulous engraving technique. Each figure is rendered with intricate detail, from their expressive faces to the folds of their robes. Their laughter seems to echo off the walls as they remain engrossed in their joviality. This illustration originally appeared in The Illustrated London News on February 17th, 1894. It brings to life scenes from Weyman's novel "Under the Red Robe" immersing viewers into its rich narrative world. Through this print, we glimpse into an era where public houses served as meeting places for both serious discussions and light-hearted moments. Woodville's masterful interpretation invites us to imagine ourselves among these characters - witnessing firsthand their boisterous singing and shared laughter. This lithograph serves as a testament to the enduring power of literary illustrations that transport us across time and space, allowing us to experience stories long past but never forgotten.
