EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a pivotal moment in Charles Dickens' classic novel, "A Tale of Two Cities". The illustration by Harry Furniss depicts the intense struggle between two formidable women, Miss Pross and Madame Defarge. In this climactic scene, it becomes evident that love's tenacity triumphs over hate. Madame Defarge, consumed by her vengeful hatred, futilely attempts to strike down her adversary. However, Miss Pross proves to be an indomitable force fueled by the power of love. With unwavering determination and strength, she clasps Madame Defarge tightly in her arms and even lifts her from the floor during their fierce confrontation. The artist skillfully captures the essence of these contrasting characters – one driven by vengeance and the other propelled by devotion. Their physical struggle mirrors their ideological clash as they represent opposing forces within society itself. Published in 1910 as part of the Testimonial Edition of Dickens' masterpiece, this illustration serves as a testament to both Furniss' artistic prowess and Dickens' enduring literary legacy. It transports viewers back to Victorian England while reminding us of timeless themes such as love's resilience against hatred. Ken Welsh's expert reproduction ensures that this image remains accessible for all admirers of classical literature and art alike. Whether displayed on social media or cherished in a personal collection, this powerful depiction invites contemplation on human nature and our capacity for compassion amidst turmoil.
