EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a poignant moment from George Eliot's timeless novel, "Adam Bede". The image portrays Hetty Sorrel, a young woman condemned to death for the tragic crime of infanticide. In her darkest hour, she finds solace and support in the comforting presence of her cousin, Dinah Morris, a devout Methodist preacher. As Hetty languishes in prison, burdened by guilt and despair, Dinah becomes her guiding light amidst the darkness. With words of compassion and forgiveness, Dinah offers Hetty a glimmer of hope and redemption. This powerful illustration by William Small beautifully depicts their tender connection as they share an intimate moment within the confines of the prison walls. However, fate intervenes when Arthur Donnithorne, Hetty's seducer and cause of her downfall, manages to commute her sentence to transportation instead. This unexpected turn further adds complexity to this gripping tale of love and morality. Eliot's masterful storytelling comes alive through Small's evocative illustration. It serves as a visual testament to the enduring power of literature in capturing profound human emotions and moral dilemmas that transcend time. As we gaze upon this print from c1885 edition published by Small himself, we are reminded that even in our darkest moments there is always room for compassion and redemption
