EDITORS COMMENTS
In this engraving titled "Stouffacher Admonished by his wife to Resist the Tyranny of, the Austrian Bailiff" we are transported to 19th century Switzerland. The image depicts a pivotal moment in Swiss history when Stouffacher, a courageous Swissman, is being urged by his determined wife to stand up against the oppressive rule of an Austrian Bailiff. The scene exudes tension and defiance as Stouffacher's wife passionately implores him to resist tyranny. Her unwavering gaze and outstretched hand convey her unwavering support for her husband's fight for freedom. Meanwhile, Stouffacher himself appears deep in thought, contemplating the weight of his decision. This powerful illustration originally appeared in "Switzerland" published by Blackie in 1881. It serves as a reminder of Switzerland's struggle against foreign domination and its determination to preserve its independence. The artist from the Swiss School masterfully captures not only the historical context but also the emotional intensity within this print. Through intricate details and expert shading techniques, they bring life to each character and evoke empathy from viewers. As we admire this artwork today, it reminds us that throughout European history, individuals like Stouffacher have played crucial roles in shaping their nations' destinies. Their resilience and refusal to succumb to oppression continue inspiring generations across Europe and beyond.
