EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "PLIT2A-00125 (Fieldings Tom Jones refused admittance by the noblemans porter)" takes us back to 18th century Great Britain. Hand-colored and featuring a woodcut illustration by Thomas Rowlandson, it beautifully captures a scene from Henry Fielding's iconic novel, "Tom Jones". The image transports us to a bustling European city street where we witness an intriguing encounter between Tom Jones, the fictional character created by Fielding, and a nobleman's porter. The servant stands firm at the entrance gate of what appears to be an elegant estate, refusing admittance to our protagonist. Through this artwork, Rowlandson skillfully portrays the social class divide prevalent in 1700s England. The vivid colors bring life to every detail - from the ornate architecture of the buildings lining the street to Tom Jones' expressive face as he pleads for entry. As we admire this vintage piece of artistry and delve into its historical significance, we are reminded of how literature can provide valuable insights into society's past. It serves as a visual reminder that even in fiction, authors like Fielding used their works to comment on societal norms and challenge prevailing ideas about class distinctions. This remarkable print not only showcases Rowlandson's artistic talent but also invites us to explore British history through literature. It is a testament to both literary genius and artistic prowess that continues to captivate viewers today.
