EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph, titled "Illustration for The Vicar of Wakefield by Oliver Goldsmith" transports us to the world of English literature. Created by Edmund Joseph Sullivan in 1914, this print captures a poignant moment from Goldsmith's renowned novel. The scene depicted here showcases the comical yet relatable character of the Squire, who often succumbs to slumber during the Vicar's sermons. As we gaze upon this illustration, we witness the Squire in a state of deep sleep amidst one of the most moving parts of the sermon. His head gently rests on his hand as he dozes off, unaware and oblivious to his surroundings. Sullivan's artistic prowess shines through in every detail - from the intricate lines that define each character's features to his masterful use of shading and texture. The composition exudes a sense of tranquility and stillness, inviting us to contemplate not only this particular moment but also our own experiences with drowsiness or distraction during important events. Through this lithograph, Sullivan brings Goldsmith's characters to life with great skill and sensitivity. It serves as a testament to both artists' ability to capture human nature with humor and empathy. This print is an exquisite addition to any collection that appreciates fine art inspired by timeless literary works like The Vicar of Wakefield.
