EDITORS COMMENTS
This illustration by Harry Furniss brings to life a powerful scene from Charles Dickens' renowned novel, A Tale of Two Cities. The print depicts a grindstone in action, with sparks flying out of the stone as it sharpens various weapons. The atmosphere surrounding the group gathered around the grindstone is described as wicked and filled with gore and fire. The artist's attention to detail is evident in every stroke, as no creature in the group appears to be free from the smear of blood. Hatchets, knives, bayonets, and swords - all brought to be sharpened - are depicted vividly red with this grim reminder of violence. Furniss skillfully captures the essence of Dickens' narrative through his evocative portrayal. This classic Victorian tale explores themes of sacrifice, love, and redemption amidst the backdrop of political turmoil during the French Revolution. As viewers gaze upon this striking illustration, they are transported back in time to experience both the brutality and resilience that defined this era. It serves as a testament to Dickens' ability to create memorable characters within an intricate storyline. Ken Welsh's reproduction allows us to appreciate Furniss' artistic interpretation while also honoring one of literature's most celebrated authors. This print serves as a visual reminder of how storytelling can transcend time and continue captivating audiences for generations to come.
