George Louis Palmella Busson Du Maurier
The Other Mrs. Johnson
1865
"The Other Mrs. Johnson" is a wood engraving by George Louis Palmella Busson Du Maurier, the Victorian illustrator and novelist known for his satirical depictions of English society. The work exemplifies Du Maurier's skill in the wood engraving medium, a technique requiring precise carving into the end grain of boxwood to create fine lines and detailed tonal variations. As with much of Du Maurier's output, the piece likely contains social commentary delivered through his characteristically elegant draftsmanship and wit.
