EDITORS COMMENTS
In this engraving from the 19th century, we are transported to a scene of imminent danger and gripping emotion. The print titled "It is coming, Maggie! Tom said, in a deep hoarse voice, loosing the oars and clasping her" depicts a pivotal moment from George Eliot's novel, The Mill on the Floss. The image showcases Tom Tulliver desperately rowing his boat through treacherous floodwaters as he tries to save his sister Maggie. With fear etched across their faces, they cling onto each other for dear life amidst the raging river. The artist's attention to detail brings forth an atmosphere of anguish and impending doom. The powerful illustration by Walter James Allen perfectly captures the intensity of this dramatic scene. As readers of Eliot's novel will know, this moment symbolizes not only physical danger but also emotional turmoil and familial bonds being tested against nature's destructive forces. This artwork serves as a reminder of the timeless themes explored in literature - love, sacrifice, and resilience in times of adversity. It transports us back to Victorian England while evoking feelings that resonate with audiences even today. With its rich historical context and masterful execution, this engraving stands as both a testament to English literary heritage and an exquisite piece of visual artistry.
