EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Esther and Harold Transome" transports us back to the 19th century. The image depicts two figures, Esther and Harold Transome, who are characters from the renowned works of George Eliot. The artist behind this exquisite piece remains anonymous but has beautifully captured the essence of these literary personas. Esther, a female writer in English literature, is portrayed with an air of intelligence and determination. Her gaze is focused yet gentle, suggesting a deep understanding of her craft. Beside her stands Harold Transome, another character from Eliot's novel Felix Holt. With his strong presence and thoughtful expression, he embodies the complexities often found in male protagonists within literature. This print was originally created as an illustration for Scenes and Characters from the works of George Eliot - a collection that celebrates eminent artists' interpretations of Eliot's writings. Published by Alexander Strahan in 1888 with an introduction by L. G Seguin, it serves as a testament to Eliot's lasting impact on the literary world. As we admire this remarkable engraving today, we are reminded not only of George Eliot's genius but also how art can bring fictional characters to life. It invites us to delve into their stories further while appreciating the skillful craftsmanship that went into creating this timeless work of art.
