EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Maruja" by Richard Caton Woodville II, takes us back to the mid-19th century in California. The scene depicted is from Bret Harte's literary masterpiece and was originally published in The Illustrated London News in 1885. In this powerful image, we witness a dramatic moment as thundered descended upon the land. Maruja, a central character in Harte's story, stands at the forefront of the engraving. Her delicate figure contrasts with the wild horses writhing beneath her feet. The artist skillfully captures Maruja's ethereal presence as she detaches herself from reality and floats effortlessly through the air. She seems to be surrounded by rings of light that softly illuminate her surroundings. Woodville's attention to detail brings this scene to life; every strand of hair on Maruja's head seems to dance with anticipation. The intensity of emotions can be felt through his masterful use of shading and texture. As we gaze upon this print, we are transported into a world where literature intertwines with artistry. It serves as a reminder of how visual representations can enhance our understanding and appreciation for great works of fiction. This particular print is part of Bridgeman Images' collection, showcasing their commitment to preserving historical literary illustrations like "Maruja". It offers us an opportunity to delve deeper into Bret Harte's narrative while admiring Woodville's talent for capturing emotion within his engravings.
