Madam Blaize, 1906 - A Glimpse into the World of Oliver Goldsmith's Fictional Character
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print from 1906 takes us back to a bygone era, immersing us in the world of Madam Blaize. Created by the renowned Dalziel Brothers, this enchanting image is inspired by George John Pinwell's illustrations for Oliver Goldsmith's literary masterpiece. In this poignant scene, we witness a lady facing hardship and poverty as she enters a pawn shop. The meticulous engraving beautifully captures her weary expression and downcast eyes, reflecting the struggles faced by many during that time. The concept behind this artwork stems from Arthur Hayden's book "Chats on Old Prints" which delves into the social class divide prevalent in 19th-century Britain. Through his poem about Madam Blaize, Goldsmith sheds light on the challenges faced by women like her in an unforgiving society. As we gaze upon this monochrome masterpiece, we are transported to an era where lending shops were lifelines for those trapped in destitution. The attention to detail showcases both the craftsmanship of George J. Pinwell and the Dalziel family's artistic prowess. This print serves as a reminder of how literature intertwines with visual arts to depict societal issues that transcend time. It invites us to reflect on our own understanding of poverty and empathy towards those who struggle against overwhelming odds.
