Label TextLike many of his fellow-members of the Society of American Wood Engravers, Albert Mumford Lindsay engraved other artists' paintings and illustrations for reproduction and then exhibited the prints as examples of the printmaking art. The catalogue of such an exhibition in Boston in 1890 lists Lindsay's engravings of works by seven artists, including the Western specialist Frederic Remington.

From William Hatherell's original work, Lindsay created this print - the frontispiece for the issue - depicting the meeting of Arabella Donn and Jude Fawley in Thomas Hardy's The Simpletons, which ran from December 1894 to November 1895. The story was later re-titled Hearts Insurgent. In 1895, it was published as a book in London under its present title of Jude the Obscure.
