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 character Sydney Carton on the scaffold, ready to sacrifice himself for a greater cause. The quote accompanying the image, "It is a far, far better thing that I do than I have ever done: it is a far, far better rest that I go to than I have ever known" perfectly encapsulates Carton's selfless act and his ultimate redemption. As readers delve into this timeless tale of love, sacrifice, and revolution set against the backdrop of Victorian England and France during the French Revolution, they witness Carton's transformation from a disillusioned drunkard to an honorable hero. Furniss' skillful sketch brings Carton's internal struggle and resolution to life. The attention to detail in capturing both facial expressions and body language adds depth and emotion to this powerful scene. It serves as a reminder of the enduring impact literature can have on our lives. This illustration not only pays tribute to one of Dickens' most beloved characters but also showcases Furniss' talent as an artist. Through his work, he immortalizes moments from iconic novels like "A Tale of Two Cities" while adding his own artistic interpretation. Whether you are an avid reader or simply appreciate classical literature or artistry at its finest, this print offers a glimpse into the world created by two masters - Charles Dickens and Harry Furniss.
