EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print titled "Tales of Wonder!", we are transported back to the early 19th century, where a group of women is engrossed in M. G. Lewis's Gothic novel, The Monk. Created by James Gillray and published in London in 1802, this hand-coloured engraving beautifully captures the essence of storytelling and its profound impact on its listeners. The scene depicts a dimly lit room with only a single candle illuminating the faces of these avid readers. Their expressions range from awe to horror as they hang onto every word, completely absorbed by the narrative unfolding before them. It is evident that Lewis's tale has successfully evoked emotions beyond imagination - an attempt to describe the effects of the sublime and wonderful. Gillray masterfully combines satire and caricature in this artwork, subtly commenting on society's fascination with sensationalism and their appetite for thrilling stories even if they border on bad taste. The artist cleverly portrays how literature can transport individuals into another realm entirely, blurring the lines between reality and fiction. This print serves as a reminder of our timeless fascination with storytelling - how it captivates our senses, stirs our emotions, and transports us to worlds unknown. As we gaze upon these women enthralled by their reading material, we cannot help but be reminded of our own experiences when lost within the pages of an enthralling book.
