EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving titled "An Old Ballad Re-Written" by Edward Henry Corbould takes us on a journey through time and literature. The image depicts a scene from Walter Thornbury's book, "Historical and Legendary Ballads and Songs" published in 1876. In this enchanting artwork, we witness a man leaping upon his majestic black horse with such intensity that blood seems to fly from the spurs on his boots. The composition exudes an air of history and legend as it transports us back to an era when ballads held great significance in English literature. The artist skillfully captures the essence of this old ballad, evoking emotions of bravery, adventure, and perhaps even love. As we gaze at the print, we can almost hear the melodies of ancient songs echoing through time. This piece not only showcases Corbould's artistic talent but also highlights the importance of storytelling throughout history. It reminds us how tales passed down through generations have shaped our understanding of culture and identity. As viewers, we are invited to immerse ourselves in this Germanic world where legends come alive. This engraving serves as a visual portal into another era—a testament to the power that art holds in preserving historical narratives for future generations to appreciate and learn from.
