EDITORS COMMENTS
This 19th-century engraving captures the essence of Lord Tennyson's Play of Becket, performed at the renowned Lyceum Theatre in London. The image showcases seven pivotal moments from the play, each intricately engraved to depict the dramatic scenes. In the first panel, we see King Henry and Rosamund in a lush bower, their forbidden love hidden away from prying eyes. The tension builds as Becket awaits his fate in the second panel, his expression filled with anticipation and trepidation. Miss Ellen Terry takes center stage in the third panel as she portrays Rosamund, her beauty and vulnerability shining through. In contrast, Becket is depicted as Chancellor in panel four - a powerful figure embodying authority and wisdom. The fifth panel transports us into Becket's sacred oratory where he seeks solace and guidance. However, it is ultimately his martyrdom that defines him as shown in panel six - a poignant moment capturing his sacrifice for his beliefs. Finally, we witness an emotional scene where Becket bestows his blessing upon Rosamund before parting ways forever. This vintage engraving not only serves as a visual representation of Tennyson's play but also provides insight into Victorian arts and culture. Its illustrative technique brings history to life while showcasing 19th-century style through its retro aesthetic. A true treasure from Arkheia's collection of historic art.
