EDITORS COMMENTS
In this illustration by Walter James Allen, we are transported back to the world of George Eliot's classic novel, The Mill on the Floss. Aunt Clegg, one of Mrs Tulliver's sisters, is depicted here with a curious expression as she looks over the goods in Bob Jakin's pack. The scene captures a moment of everyday life in rural England during the 19th century, where itinerant pedlars like Bob Jakin played an important role in bringing goods to remote communities. Allen's intricate engraving beautifully conveys the details of Aunt Clegg's attire and facial features, giving us a glimpse into her character and personality. The black and white composition adds a sense of nostalgia to the image, reminding us of a bygone era when commerce was conducted through personal interactions rather than online transactions. As we gaze at this evocative portrayal of Aunt Clegg examining Bob Jakin's wares, we are reminded of the rich tapestry of characters that populate Eliot's novel and bring its world to life. This print serves as a visual reminder of the enduring power of literature to transport us across time and space, allowing us to connect with characters from centuries past in a meaningful way.
