EDITORS COMMENTS
This illustration by John Everett Millais, a prominent English artist and co-founder of the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood, depicts a poignant scene from Owen Meredith's poem "Last Words". The image showcases Will, portrayed with profound sorrow on his face, as he watches and listens attentively at his friend's deathbed. Created in November 1860 for The Cornhill Magazine in London, this engraving beautifully captures the emotional depth of the poem. Owen Meredith, also known as Edward Robert Bulwer Lytton (lst Earl Lytton), penned these powerful verses that explore themes of mortality and friendship. Millais' artistic interpretation perfectly complements the lyrical beauty of Meredith's words. The composition skillfully combines intricate details with a sense of melancholy ambiance. Through delicate strokes and careful shading, Millais conveys Will's deep connection to his dying friend. Every line etched into this print seems to echo the weighty emotions present in both the poem and real-life experiences. As we gaze upon this remarkable artwork today, it serves as a testament to the enduring power of literature combined with visual artistry. It reminds us how artists like Millais can breathe life into written words through their creative vision. This particular piece stands as an exemplary representation of Pre-Raphaelite aesthetics – characterized by meticulous attention to detail and emotionally charged subject matter. In conclusion, this evocative engraving transports us back to Victorian England while simultaneously transcending time through its universal depiction of human emotion. It
