EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative print, titled "Tess of the D'Urbervilles" by Hubert von Herkomer, depicts a scene from Thomas Hardy's novel of the same name, published in 1891. The image captures a moment of unease and apprehension between two figures, Tess and Alec D'Urberville, as they stand before a fireplace, each throwing dead weeds onto the flames from opposite sides. The haunting atmosphere is heightened by the use of chiaroscuro, with the figures standing in stark relief against the dark background. The Victorian era setting is further emphasized by the traditional attire worn by both characters, adding to the sense of timelessness and nostalgia. The scene is taken from the novel where Tess, afraid and frightened, goes to the fireplace to throw a pitch of dead weeds, only to find that Alec is doing the same on the other side, alarming her. The print, published in The Graphic: An Illustrated Weekly Newspaper, Volume 44, July to December, 1891, is a testament to the enduring power of literature and the arts to capture and convey complex emotions and concepts.
