EDITORS COMMENTS
In this lithograph titled "The Queen cried to him to forbear" artist Dora Curtis brings to life a poignant moment from the legendary tales of King Arthur and the Round Table. The print, part of a private collection, showcases an intense scene filled with emotion and tension. The image depicts a powerful queen, her face etched with anguish, desperately pleading with someone off-screen. Her outstretched arm and tear-filled eyes convey her urgent plea for restraint. The viewer is left wondering who she is addressing and what perilous situation has prompted such distress. Curtis's attention to detail shines through in every stroke of the litho technique. From the intricate folds of the queen's regal gown to the delicate shading that adds depth to her expression, each element contributes to the overall impact of this evocative artwork. This illustration originally accompanied Beatrice Clay's Stories of King Arthur and the Round Table published in 1905 by JM Dent. It serves as a visual reminder that even those in positions of power can be moved by compassion and empathy when faced with grave circumstances. "The Queen cried to him to forbear" invites viewers into a world where legends come alive, reminding us that myths hold timeless truths about human nature and our capacity for both strength and vulnerability.
