EDITORS COMMENTS
a captivating image published in Vanity Fair in 1848, captures the essence of Victorian-era elegance and the bittersweet moment of a woman's farewell. This evocative print, held in the esteemed collection of Mary Evans Picture Library, was created by an unknown artist, adding to its allure and historical intrigue. The scene unfolds as Mrs. Rawdon, played by the renowned Victorian actress, Fanny Kemble, takes her leave from Paris, her once-happy home. She sits regally in an open carriage, her voluminous skirts billowing in the wind, while her maid, clad in a simple yet practical dress, holds the reins of the horse. The couple's belongings, including books and other personal items, are piled high in the carriage, symbolizing the weight of their past experiences and the uncertainty of their future. Mrs. Rawdon's expression is one of melancholy and determination, as she gazes off into the distance, perhaps reflecting on the memories she is leaving behind or the challenges that await her. The horse, with its proud and alert stance, mirrors the strength and resilience of its rider, ready to face whatever lies ahead. This print, taken from Thackeray's novel "The Newcomes," was published in Vanity Fair during a pivotal moment in history, as Europe was on the brink of revolution in 1848. The image serves as a poignant reminder of the human spirit's ability to endure change and adversity, making it a valuable addition to any historical collection. In summary, "Mrs. Rawdon's Departure from Paris" is a stunning representation of Victorian-era elegance, emotional depth, and historical significance. This print, held in the Mary Evans Picture Library, offers a glimpse into the past and invites us to reflect on the enduring power of human resilience and determination.
