EDITORS COMMENTS
In this illustration by John Franklin, we are transported to the eerie world of "The Coffin Makers Carousel". The scene is set in Old Saint Paul's, London, as depicted in William Harrison Ainsworth's novel from 1841. At the center of attention is Chowles, the skilled coffin maker, perched on a table amidst his macabre creations. His weathered face and worn hands tell tales of countless lives laid to rest. Seated on the left side is Judith Malmayns, known as the treacherous plague nurse. Her presence adds an air of mystery and danger to this already haunting composition. As an English literature enthusiast delves into these pages brought to life by Franklin's artistic prowess, they can almost hear her whispered secrets and feel a chill down their spine. Franklin masterfully captures every intricate detail with his brush strokes - from the somber atmosphere that hangs heavy in the air to each shadow cast upon Chowles' workshop walls. This illustration transports us back in time to a period when death was ever-present due to devastating plagues. As we gaze at this mesmerizing print from 1855 (first published in 1841), it serves as a reminder of our mortality while also celebrating the artistry found even within such grim circumstances. It stands as a testament not only to Ainsworth's literary genius but also Franklin's ability to bring words alive through visual storytelling.
