EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative print by Hubert von Herkomer, titled "Tess of the D'Urbervilles" after Thomas Hardy's novel, we witness a poignant and tragic scene. Two boys sit quietly on the side of a country road, their expressions etched with despair and misery. A horse-drawn wagon lies collapsed in the background, its horses dead or injured, the victims of an accident. The boys seem to be in a state of shock, their eyes fixed on the scene of the incident. The professor-like figure in the foreground, also affected by the accident, leans against a tree, deep in thought. The horse and cart, once a means of transportation, now lies abandoned and useless, a symbol of the misfortune that has befallen these people. The scene exudes a sense of stillness and despair, as if time itself has come to a standstill. The print, published in The Graphic, an illustrated weekly newspaper in 1891, captures the mood of Hardy's novel, which explores themes of poverty, misfortune, and the harsh realities of rural life in England during the Victorian era.
