EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving depicts a scene from Wilkie Collins' renowned novel, 'Moonstone'. The illustration captures the intense moment of Dr. Candy's experiment, where Ezra Jennings closely observes Franklin Blake under the influence of Laudanum sleepwalking. In this pivotal moment, Franklin is seen taking the false diamond from Rachel's dressing room, adding an element of mystery and intrigue to the narrative.
The artist behind this detailed portrayal is Francis Arthur Fraser, known for his skillful rendering of scenes that bring literary works to life. Wilkie Collins himself was a master storyteller, weaving intricate plots and complex characters in his novels.
Set in 19th century England with elements of Indian culture intertwined throughout the story, 'Moonstone' explores themes of deception, protection, and experimentation. The characters - including priests, teachers, and Brahmins - navigate through a web of secrets and hidden motives as they seek to unravel the mystery surrounding the precious jewel.
As viewers gaze upon this print, they are transported into the world created by Collins with its rich tapestry of emotions and conflicts. It serves as a reminder of the enduring power of literature to captivate our imagination and evoke deep emotions within us.
