EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "NEAR TO NATUREs HEART" transports us back to the late 19th century, capturing a poignant scene from Edward Payson Roe's beloved novel of the same name. The sketch by Fred Dielman beautifully illustrates a pivotal moment in the story, where Thomas Saville, a kind-hearted husband, opens his door on a cold winter night to welcome back his wife who had deserted him. The etching showcases an English exterior with snow-covered ground and icicles hanging from the roof. Thomas stands tall in the doorway, wearing a warm shawl over his shoulders as he extends his hand towards his wife. His face reflects both relief and forgiveness as he offers her help and love despite her past actions. The attention to detail in this drawing is remarkable; every line captures the emotions of each character perfectly. The artist's skillful rendering evokes empathy for both husband and wife as they reconcile their differences amidst nature's wintry embrace. This print not only serves as a visual representation of Roe's literary masterpiece but also reminds us of the power of forgiveness, compassion, and reconciliation within relationships. It encapsulates an enduring message that resonates across time: that even in our coldest moments, we can find warmth near to nature's heart.
