EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the last lines of Samuel Taylor Coleridge's renowned poem, "Hymn before Sunrise in the Vale of Chamouny". Written in the poet's own exquisite handwriting and sent as a letter to Mrs. Brabant of Devizes in 1815, this piece holds immense historical and artistic significance. Coleridge (1772-1834), a celebrated poet, critic, and philosopher of his time, composed this romantic and joyful poem back in 1802. In an intriguing postscript, he mentions that this is the only correct copy of the poem in existence. The facsimile featured here was reproduced from "Facsimiles of Royal, Historical & Literary Autographs" held by the British Museum Trustees. The image beautifully captures Coleridge's autograph manuscript with its delicate pen strokes on paper. It not only provides us with a glimpse into his creative process but also allows us to appreciate his unique signature. As we admire this remarkable artwork from Fine Art Finder by Bridgeman Images, let us delve into the profound words penned by Coleridge himself. This mesmerizing composition transports us to nature's enchanting embrace within Chamouny Valley at sunrise—a poetic experience that continues to resonate with readers across generations.
