EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Ballade of a Choice of Ghosts, 1886" transports us back to the enchanting world of Victorian literature and art. Created by the talented artist Harry Furniss, this piece beautifully illustrates Andrew Lang's haunting poem from The Magazine of Art. The monochrome image depicts a scene filled with mythical creatures and eerie elements. A ghostly figure stands in the foreground, surrounded by swirling mist that adds an air of mystery to the composition. In the background, we catch glimpses of mermaids gracefully swimming through dark waters while monstrous beings lurk in shadowy corners. Furniss' intricate engraving technique brings life to these fantastical characters, capturing their ethereal essence with remarkable detail. The delicate lines and shading create a sense of depth and movement within the print. As we gaze upon this mesmerizing artwork, we are reminded of the enduring allure that Victorian literature held for its readers. It speaks to our fascination with death, mythology, and otherworldly realms that have captivated human imagination throughout history. This print is not only a testament to Furniss' artistic prowess but also serves as a visual representation of Lang's evocative poetry. Its timeless appeal continues to resonate even in today's modern world where myths and legends still hold sway over our collective consciousness.
