EDITORS COMMENTS
Blind Love, a captivating engraving by Amedee Forestier, takes us back to the bustling streets of 19th century London. This exquisite print, inspired by Wilkie Collins' renowned novel, invites us into a world where love and deception intertwine. In this scene from The Illustrated London News, dated November 30th, 1889, we witness a poignant moment that encapsulates the essence of blind affection. A visually impaired gentleman stands on a crowded street corner with his trusted guide dog by his side. His face radiates vulnerability and longing as he clutches onto his purse tightly. The artist's attention to detail is remarkable; every line etched with precision brings life to this literary illustration. Street scenes come alive through intricate depictions of passersby going about their daily routines. The atmosphere is palpable as coins exchange hands – shillings and tenpence counted meticulously in an act of trust between two lovers. Forestier's interpretation captures the essence of 'Blind Love, ' reminding us that true devotion transcends physical limitations. As viewers, we are transported into the emotional depths of Collins' narrative through this powerful image. This exceptional piece from Bridgeman Images' collection serves as a timeless reminder that love knows no boundaries – even when sight fails us.
