EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases John Graham Lough's masterpiece, "Comus" from 1856. The artist brilliantly captures the essence of this allegorical story through his meticulous attention to detail and skillful use of color. The image depicts a virtuous lady who finds herself lost in the enchanting woods, separated from her two brothers.

In this thought-provoking scene, we witness a powerful debate between the lady and Comus. She staunchly rejects his hedonistic philosophy while passionately defending temperance and chastity.

It serves as a testament to Lough's artistic prowess and ability to convey complex narratives through sculpture. Displayed at Guildhall Library Art Gallery, this photograph print allows us to appreciate Lough's genius even today.
