EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative image from the 1750s, Rasselas, the Prince of Abyssinia, and his wise companion Imlac are shown in the midst of their daring escape from the Happy Valley, a place of perpetual pleasure and contentment, as described in Samuel Johnson's acclaimed novella, "Rasselas, Prince of Abyssinia." Dressed in turbans and holding pickaxes, the two men dig tirelessly into the earth, their faces etched with determination and focus. Published in 1759, Johnson's work of fiction transports readers to the exotic and mysterious lands of the Eastern world. Rasselas, the prince, grows tired of the superficial happiness of the Happy Valley and yearns for knowledge and experience beyond its borders. Imlac, the wise man, acts as his guide and companion on this journey of self-discovery. The scene depicted in this photograph captures a pivotal moment in their adventure, as they dig a tunnel to escape the confines of the Happy Valley and venture into the unknown. The image invites us to ponder the nature of happiness and the human desire for knowledge and exploration. Johnson's novella, with its rich prose and intriguing characters, continues to captivate readers more than 260 years after its publication. This photograph, a window into the past, offers a glimpse into the world of Rasselas and Imlac and their quest for understanding the complexities of life.
