"The Haunted House" - drawn by S. Read, 1854. The subject of Mr. Read's picture is taken from the beautiful poem of "The Haunted House", by the late Thomas Hood. The picture is worthy of the poem; which is the highest praise we can give it. "Unhing'd the iron gates half open hung, Jarr'd by the gusty gales of many winters, That from its crumbled pedestal had flung One marble globe in splinters...The moping heron, motionless and stiff, That on a stone, as silently and stilly, Stood, an apparent sentinel, as if, To guard the water-lily...For over all there hung a cloud of fear, A sense of mystery the spirit daunted, And said, as plain as whisper in the ear The place is Haunted!"'. From "Illustrated London News", 1854

The Haunted House
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating and eerie engraving created by Samuel Read in 1854, brought to life by the skillful hand of William J. Linton. This exquisite work of art is an illustration of the beautiful poem of the same name by the late Thomas Hood. The image perfectly complements the poem, making it an exceptional piece of art in its own right. The subject of the picture is derived from the opening lines of Hood's poem, "The Haunted House." The iron gates of the house are unhinged and hang open, jostled by the gusty gales of many winters. One marble globe lies in splinters at the pedestal's base. A moping heron stands motionless and stiff on a stone, acting as a silent and still sentinel, guarding the water-lily. The atmosphere of fear and mystery envelops the scene, as if to whisper in the ear of the viewer, "The place is Haunted!" The image is taken from the pages of the "Illustrated London News" in 1854, and it is a testament to the power of literature and art to transport us to another world. The intricate details of the engraving, from the honeysuckle creeping up the crumbling walls to the brown hat of Hattie Brown, the sentinel bird, add to the overall spooky and haunting ambiance. The time of day is not explicitly stated, but the mood is set with the ominous clouds and the stillness of the scene, making it a perfect addition to any collection of 19th-century art or literature. The engraving is a masterpiece of the 19th century, created by the combined talents of Samuel Read and William J. Linton. It is a must-have for anyone interested in the arts, literature, or the supernatural. The image is a reminder of the power of the written word and the ability of art to bring it to life.
