EDITORS COMMENTS
Caption: "Yorik, the Monk and Madame L- in the Inn Courtyard at Calais, c1760s". This print captures a scene from Laurence Sterne's renowned novel, "A Sentimental Journey" illustrated by Adam Buck. Set in the 18th century, this image transports us to an inn courtyard in Calais, France. In this evocative portrayal of characters brought to life through literature and artistry, we witness Yorik the Monk engaging in conversation with Madame L-. The contrasting black and brown tones add depth to their interaction against the backdrop of rustic buildings. The image encapsulates both poverty and religion as Yorik is depicted as a beggar monk. Despite their differing social statuses - he representing destitution while she exudes elegance - they find common ground within these walls. Their animated discussion hints at shared experiences or perhaps philosophical debates that transcend societal boundaries. Elizabeth Bowen's book "English Novelists" further contextualizes this artwork within its pages published by Collins London in 1942. This collaboration between writer and artist bridges two centuries, bringing together literary imagination with visual interpretation. As we gaze upon this print created during World War II era forties, it serves as a reminder of how art can transport us across time and place. It invites contemplation on themes such as human connection amidst adversity and the power of storytelling to bridge divides.
