EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases "The Black Brunswicker" a mesmerizing mezzotint engraving by Thomas L. Atkinson, published by Henry Graves & Co. in 1863. The artwork itself is an exquisite reproduction of the original painting by John Everett Millais, depicting a poignant scene that evokes both love and loss. In this Victorian-era masterpiece, we witness a heart-wrenching parting between two lovers - an officer from the Brunswick Cavalry and his beloved lady. The soldier stands tall, adorned in his military uniform with a striking helmet on his head while holding onto his walking stick or cane. His loyal dachshund gazes up at him with pleading eyes as if begging him not to leave. Symbolism abounds within this artwork; the skull and crossbones subtly remind us of the dangers faced by soldiers during wartime. Meanwhile, Napoleon's portrait hanging on the wall serves as a reminder of past conflicts. Millais' exceptional attention to detail brings every element to life - from the intricate engravings on the officer's helmet to the delicate expression on his lover's face as she clutches her handkerchief tightly. "The Black Brunswicker" is not only a remarkable example of Pre-Raphaelite art but also captures emotions that transcend time and place. It invites viewers into an intimate moment frozen forever in history – one filled with longing, sacrifice, and unwavering loyalty.
