EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases an exquisite illustration for Charles Kingsley's renowned novel, "Westward Ho!". The artwork, a colour lithograph by the talented Newell Convers Wyeth, depicts a scene titled "The Daughter of the Forest". In this mesmerizing portrayal, Amyas Leigh, one of the main characters in the story, is captivated by a young woman he encounters during his adventurous journey. As an avid explorer in Elizabethan England, Amyas had encountered numerous dark-skinned daughters of the forest. However, none had ever captured his attention quite like this enchanting figure. The delicate beauty and allure emanating from her presence are vividly brought to life through Wyeth's masterful brushstrokes. Set against the backdrop of 16th-century England and its vibrant culture, "Westward Ho!" takes readers on thrilling voyages filled with daring exploits and exploration. This illustration perfectly captures both the spirit of adventure that permeates throughout Kingsley's work and the essence of English literature during that period. With its rich historical context and evocative imagery, this print serves as a visual gateway into an era defined by brave explorers and their extraordinary journeys. It invites viewers to embark on their own imaginative travels through time while marveling at Wyeth's artistic interpretation. Displayed proudly in a private collection but made accessible through Fine Art Finder's partnership with Bridgeman Images, this piece offers a glimpse into British history while celebrating literary excellence.
