EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative etching, titled 'The Haunted Cottage,' transports us back in time to a bygone era, circa 1920. The large, haunted cottage, with its thatched roof and crude, unkempt walls, stands as a testament to the passage of time and the natural elements. The image, created through the meticulous art of etching, captures the essence of an old, abandoned dwelling, shrouded in mystery and intrigue. The cottage's thatched roof, a common feature in traditional English architecture, is in a state of disrepair, with straw peeking through the gaps, indicating the roof's age and the harsh weather it has endured over the years. The walls, made of rough, unfinished stones, are covered in moss and ivy, giving the cottage an air of neglect and abandonment. The image, part of the Mary Evans Prints Online collection, was published in a colour magazine, Volume 12, and was likely used to illustrate a story or poem about the supernatural or the unknown. The ruby hare, visible in the foreground, adds an element of whimsy and enchantment to the otherwise eerie scene. Despite its haunting appearance, 'The Haunted Cottage' is a beautiful work of art that invites us to imagine the stories that lie within its walls and the secrets that the cottage holds. The etching is a reminder of the power of the imagination and the ability of art to transport us to another time and place.
