The Mayor of Casterbridge
EDITORS COMMENTS
by Thomas Hardy is a novel published in 1886 that tells the story of Michael Henchard, a man who makes a rash decision to sell his wife at a local fair. This poignant moment from the novel is depicted in this print by Robert Barnes, titled "The Mayor of Casterbridge, by Thomas Hardy. Henchard turned slightly, and saw that the comer was Jopp, his old foreman." The image captures Henchard in a moment of recognition as he encounters his former employee, Jopp, in the streets of Casterbridge. Henchard's expression is a mix of surprise, regret, and perhaps even a hint of fear. The setting is the Victorian countryside of England, with the cobblestone streets and old-fashioned buildings adding to the sense of history and tradition. Barnes' engraving skillfully conveys the mood of the scene, with the use of light and shadow creating a sense of depth and texture. The print is a testament to the enduring power of literature to capture the human condition, and the ability of art to bring a story to life. The print is from "The Graphic. An Illustrated Weekly Newspaper Volume 33. January to June, 1886," and is a valuable addition to any collection of 19th century literature or art. The image invites the viewer to ponder the complexities of Henchard's character and the consequences of his actions, making it a thought-provoking and visually stunning piece. The print also serves as a reminder of the rich literary and artistic heritage of Britain, and the enduring influence of Thomas Hardy's work on the literary world. Whether displayed in a study, library, or gallery, "The Mayor of Casterbridge, by Thomas Hardy. Henchard turned slightly, and saw that the comer was Jopp, his old foreman" is sure to inspire reflection and conversation.
