EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print titled "When the Sleeper Wakes" we are transported to a room filled with mystery and intrigue. The scene unfolds through a window, revealing an unfamiliar world cloaked in darkness. A soft glow emanates from an oval-shaped disc, casting an ethereal light on the grey and cloudy atmosphere. This lithograph is based on H. G. Wells' novel of the same name, where Graham, the protagonist, awakens after a long slumber to find himself in a strange future society. The image captures the essence of his disorientation and astonishment as he tries to make sense of his surroundings. The artist, Henri Lanos, skillfully depicts the tension between familiarity and strangeness in this engraving. The cloud-filled sky adds an air of foreboding while also alluding to meteorology and weather science - themes that play significant roles in Wells' narrative. "When the Sleeper Wakes" serves as a visual representation of scientific progress intertwined with human experience. It reminds us that even as our understanding of the world advances through scientific methods and discoveries, there will always be aspects that remain enigmatic. This thought-provoking artwork from Bridgeman Images invites us to contemplate not only our place within time but also how we navigate change amidst uncertainty.
