EDITORS COMMENTS
In this engraving titled "Lizzie advanced without hesitation, and put out one hand, while she fingered her coral necklace with the other" we are transported to a scene from George Eliot's "Scenes of Clerical Life". The image depicts Lizzie, a young girl adorned in Victorian attire, confidently approaching Reverend Edgar Tryan. As she extends her hand for a handshake, her fingers delicately caress the coral necklace adorning her neck. The illustration beautifully captures the essence of innocence and curiosity that permeates Eliot's literary works. Lizzie's boldness is evident as she fearlessly engages with Mr. Tryan, symbolizing both her youthful spirit and an eagerness to explore new connections. The intricate details in this 19th-century artwork showcase the skillful craftsmanship of English School artists. The engraving by J Cooper after original artwork by R B brings to life the characters and setting described in Eliot's stories. This print not only serves as a visual representation of a specific moment within "Scenes of Clerical Life" but also offers insight into Victorian society and its emphasis on proper etiquette and social interactions. It invites us to delve deeper into these short stories that have become timeless classics in English literature. Displayed against a backdrop reminiscent of Northern Germany, where German culture thrived during this era, this enchanting image transports viewers back in time while simultaneously inviting them to explore the rich tapestry woven within George Eliot's words.
