EDITORS COMMENTS
This print transports us to a scene straight out of Wilkie Collins' novel, "The Law and the Lady". Chapter XXII, titled "The Major Makes Difficulties" comes alive through this beautifully engraved image from 1874. The source size of 3804 x 2936 ensures that every intricate detail is preserved in this vintage piece. In the picture, we witness a mysterious moment as a woman opens an invisible side-door within the wall, cleverly masked by one of the paintings. Like a ghost, she disappears through it, leaving behind two individuals alone in the grand ballroom. Mrs. Macallan takes center stage as she approaches an oil lamp to examine a sheet of paper given to her by this enigmatic woman. Curiosity gets the better of us as we lean over Mrs. Macallan's shoulder to catch a glimpse of what lies on that intriguing page. The soft glow from the lamp adds an ethereal touch to this retro-styled image, evoking feelings of intrigue and suspense. This engraving not only serves as an illustrative technique but also offers us a window into Victorian arts and culture. It captures the essence of that era with its attention to detail and exquisite craftsmanship. As we admire this historical piece from Liszt Collection's Arkheia series, let our imagination take flight into Wilkie Collins' world where secrets unravel and mysteries abound in every corner.
