EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving titled "Ninety-Three, the Fugitives in the Forest of La Saudraie" by Samuel Luke Fildes takes us back to a moment of intense drama and terror. The print, part of a private collection, showcases a scene from the literary work "Ninety-Three" originally published in The Graphic on February 28,1874. In this gripping illustration, we find ourselves immersed in the forest as fugitives with red bonnets and fierce brows seek refuge. A military battalion is depicted amidst dense foliage while sporting impressive mustaches that add an air of authority to their visage. Eyes wide with fear and determination can be seen on both men and women alike. The woman at the center of attention stands out amongst her fellow fugitives. Her face bears a mix of anguish and strength as she clutches onto her child tightly for protection. A sergeant gazes intently into the distance, his eyes reflecting both concern for their safety and resolve to lead them through this ordeal. The artist's skillful use of light creates dramatic contrasts between shadows and illuminated areas within the forest. Coals burning nearby cast an eerie glow upon these desperate souls seeking sanctuary amidst nature's embrace. Fildes' engraving captures not only a specific moment but also conveys universal themes such as courage, resilience, and maternal instinct. It serves as a powerful reminder that even in times of great turmoil, humanity finds ways to endure against all odds.
