EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases an illustration from the renowned "History of the Plague" by Daniel Defoe, beautifully brought to life by British artist Frederic Shields. Created in 1862 but colorized in 1923, this artwork captures the essence of rural life during a devastating plague outbreak in 17th century Britain. Shields, closely associated with the Pre-Raphaelite movement, skillfully depicts a scene filled with both despair and caution. Three individuals cautiously navigate through a countryside ravaged by disease, their faces etched with worry. A loyal dog accompanies them on their journey, providing solace amidst the chaos. The vibrant colors breathe new life into this historical piece, allowing us to immerse ourselves in its rich narrative. The rustic charm of rural England is juxtaposed against the grim reality of death as we spot a haunting corpse lying nearby. Frederic James Shields' illustrations for Defoe's book were highly acclaimed at the time and continue to captivate audiences today. This particular print serves as a testament to his artistic prowess and ability to transport viewers back in time. As we gaze upon this mesmerizing artwork, we are reminded of the resilience of humanity throughout history's darkest moments. It serves as both a visual feast for art enthusiasts and an important reminder of our shared past and collective strength in times of adversity.
