EDITORS COMMENTS
This front cover of The Graphic, an illustrated weekly newspaper from June 5th, 1886, showcases two intriguing scenes. The primary focus is on Helena in Troas at Hengler's Circus, where the tragic death of Oenone unfolds. In this theatrical performance, Helena, played by an unidentified actress, is depicted in a heart-wrenching moment as she stands over the lifeless body of her lover, Oenone, who succumbed to an odious smell. The backdrop of Hengler's Circus adds an element of drama and excitement, with passengers and performers mingling on the platform, and a train in the background, suggesting the bustling city life of London. The lower half of the cover features an English agricultural station, showcasing the rural charm of the countryside. A rustic scene unfolds as people, likely farmers, gather around a dais, possibly for a market or sale. The presence of a railway station in the background highlights the intersection of the rural and urban worlds during the 19th century. The cover art was created by HM Pagel, a renowned English illustrator, and was published in The Graphic, Volume 33, from January to June, 1886. The engraving, which is both black and white, is a testament to the rich artistic and cultural heritage of the period. The Graphic, with its diverse range of subjects, from theatrical performances to rural life, was a leading source of entertainment and information for its readers during this era.
