EDITORS COMMENTS
In the heart of the English Lake District, a legendary tale unfolds, as depicted in this print from Mary Evans Picture Library. The image portrays the mythical figure of the Giant of Yewdale, also known as the Great Will of the Tarns, in the midst of an abduction. Lady Eva le Fleming's maid, Barbara, is seen in the giant's grasp, her eyes wide with fear as he is cornered by villagers. The giant, a colossal being of folklore, had long terrorized the residents of the Lake District, and this day, he had taken his latest victim. With the villagers closing in, the giant's back is against the wall, and in a desperate move, he hurls Barbara into a nearby torrent, hoping to escape. The torrent, a raging current of water, foams and churns as Barbara is swept away, her fate uncertain. This historical myth, deeply rooted in the Lake District's rich cultural heritage, has been passed down through generations. The story of the Giant of Yewdale serves as a reminder of the region's fascinating past, filled with tales of the supernatural and the unknown. The print, with its intricate details and vivid colors, transports us back in time, allowing us to witness this legendary moment in history. The image, a testament to the power and mystery of the Lake District, continues to captivate and inspire, leaving us with a sense of wonder and curiosity. As we gaze upon this print, we are reminded of the enduring power of folklore and the importance of preserving the stories that shape our history. The Giant of Yewdale, a figure both terrifying and enchanting, remains an integral part of the Lake District's mythology, and this print serves as a beautiful reminder of the region's captivating past.
