EDITORS COMMENTS
In this 19th-century engraving by Walter James Allen, we see Mrs. Tulliver visiting lawyer Waken in a desperate plea to prevent him from bidding on Dorlcote Mill at the upcoming auction. The tension is palpable as Mrs. Tulliver, with a look of anguish on her face, implores the lawyer to reconsider his intentions.
The scene is taken from George Eliot's classic novel "The Mill on the Floss," originally published in 1860. Through Allen's intricate illustration, we are transported back in time to witness this pivotal moment in the story unfold before our eyes.
As Mrs. Tulliver stands before Waken, her hands clasped together and her eyes filled with emotion, we can feel the weight of her words as she pleads for mercy. The black-and-white imagery adds a sense of drama and urgency to the scene, highlighting the gravity of the situation at hand.
This print serves as a powerful reminder of the struggles faced by characters in literature and their relentless pursuit for survival against all odds. It captures a poignant moment that resonates with readers even today, showcasing the timeless themes of love, loss, and sacrifice that continue to captivate audiences around the world.
