EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of William Wilkie Collins, a renowned English novelist from the 19th century. The cartoon, skillfully created by Edward Linley Sambourne in 1882 for Punch magazine's Fancy Portraits series, showcases Collins with his head cocked and looking away, exuding an air of mystery and intrigue. Collins is depicted as a senior man with a distinguished beard, standing confidently in front of an illuminated candle. This portrayal perfectly reflects his literary prowess and the illuminating impact he had on British culture through his sensational novels. The image transports us back to a bygone era when literature held immense power to captivate readers' imaginations. Holding true to this notion, Collins is shown holding a book, symbolizing his mastery over words and storytelling. Sambourne's engraving technique brings out the depth and detail in this black-and-white illustration. The clever use of humor adds an extra layer of charm to the portrait. As we admire this remarkable artwork from Fine Art Finder's collection curated by Bridgeman Images, we are reminded of Collins' most famous work "The Woman in White" (1860) which solidified him as one of the pioneers in the sub-genre known as Sensation Novels. This print serves as both a tribute to Wilkie Collins' literary legacy and a testament to Edward Linley Sambourne's artistic talent that continues to resonate even today.
