EDITORS COMMENTS
Whereto the Other with Downward Brow: A Visual Interpretation of Tennyson's Dream of Fair Women by Florence Harrison In the early 20th century, the captivating illustrations of Florence Harrison graced the pages of numerous publications, bringing poetry to life through her evocative and enchanting art. One of her most renowned works is the illustration for Alfred Lord Tennyson's poem "Dream of Fair Women," published around 1920. The image, titled "Whereto the Other with Downward Brow," depicts a scene of ethereal beauty and mystery. Two ladies, dressed in flowing gowns, stand among the trees in a tranquil woodland setting. Their downcast gazes and intertwined hands suggest a deep connection or perhaps a shared secret. The older woman, with a furrowed brow, seems to be lost in thought, while the younger one looks up at her with a curious expression. The woods around them are alive with the vibrant colors of spring, with blossoming flowers and poppies adding a touch of romance to the scene. The poppies, in particular, are a nod to Tennyson's poem, which includes the line "In a wood, where I saw old tulip-roots, aslant a brook that babbled at my feet." The overall effect of Harrison's illustration is one of enchantment and wonder, inviting the viewer to ponder the meaning behind the ladies' expressions and the significance of the woodland setting. Tennyson's poem, with its themes of love, loss, and the passage of time, adds another layer of depth to this work of art.
