EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Armorel of Lyonesse, A Romance of To-Day" transports us back to the enchanting world created by Walter Besant in his novel. The intricate details and skillful artistry by Frederick Barnard bring this literary masterpiece to life. In the center of the print, we see Armorel herself, a young woman with an air of mystery surrounding her. Her head is slightly tilted as she listens intently to a tune played by two violinists. The influence of music on her is evident as her foot taps along with the rhythm and her fingers gently trace the melody in mid-air. Surrounding Armorel are elements that symbolize both old traditions and modern advancements. Spinning machines stand tall behind her, representing progress and industrialization. Yet amidst these mechanical marvels, musicians play their instruments passionately, reminding us that art and creativity will always have a place in our hearts. The scene captures a moment frozen in time - one where tradition meets innovation, where past intertwines with present. It speaks volumes about Armorel's character: someone who embraces change while cherishing timeless values. As we gaze upon this exquisite piece from 1890, we can't help but be drawn into its allure. It serves as a reminder that literature has the power to transport us beyond our reality and ignite our imagination – just like Armorel did for readers over a century ago.
