Description: | James Thomson was one of Thomas Bewick's favourite poets. Bewick engraved a series of wood-engravings, after designs by John Thurston, for Thomson's 'The Seasons', published in 1805. In this poem 'Winter', a man, unsuitably dressed for the cold, perishes in the snow as he reflects on the miseries of human life. This hopelessness, Bewick mirrors in the man's face, his bulging eyes stare vacantly ahead as his stick automatically tests the depth of the snow in front of him. | Publisher: | Tyne & Wear Archives & Museums | Temporal: | Production date: 1805 | Source: | Tyne & Wear Archives & Museums | Creator: | Thomas Bewick | Identifier: | http://www.twmuseums.org.uk/discoveringb... | Go to resource |
