EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving captures a scene from the renowned novel "Armorel of Lyonesse, A Romance of To-Day" by Walter Besant. Created by Frederick Barnard, this print transports us back to the enchanting world of 19th-century literature. In this illustration, we see a picturesque coastal village bustling with activity. The artist skillfully portrays the diverse characters that populate Armorel's world: farmers tending to their fields, old shopkeepers selling their wares, and fishermen preparing for their daily catch. The presence of public houses suggests a close-knit community where stories are shared over pints and laughter fills the air. Amidst this vibrant setting stands Armorel herself—a strong-willed young woman who defies societal norms. Her determination is evident as she engages in conversation with a Scillonian pilot and an esteemed gentleman—perhaps Sir himself—who seems captivated by her charm. The image evokes nostalgia for simpler times when life revolved around nature's rhythms and human connections were cherished above all else. It reminds us of the timeless appeal of literature that allows us to escape into different worlds while reflecting on our own lives. Bridgeman Images has preserved this exquisite piece from its private collection, ensuring that future generations can appreciate both the artistic mastery behind it and its significance within literary history.
