介绍（中）	这些恋人在树木繁茂的池塘边相遇的衣服将他们置于 17 世纪的布列塔尼，版画基于弗雷德里克·古道尔 1868 年在利兹展出的一幅画。三十年前，这位艺术家在皇家学院展出水彩画，描述了由伊桑巴德·金德·布鲁内尔设计的泰晤士河下的新罗瑟希特隧道。古道尔后来以中东题材而闻名，其真实细节依赖于 1858 年和 1870 年在埃及进行的研究，他还画了欧洲历史和流派题材，包括以布列塔尼为背景的系列。他于1852年成为皇家学院的准会员，但也将画作送到英格兰北部的展览中，以吸引更广泛的赞助。当他画《宣言》时，这位艺术家是一个单身汉（他将在1872年与爱丽丝·塔里结婚），所以这个主题可能有一些个人共鸣。
介绍（英）	The dress of these lovers meeting by a wooded pond places them in 17th-century Brittany and the print is based on a painting that Frederick Goodall exhibited at Leeds in 1868. Thirty years before the artist had come to public notice when he showed watercolors at the Royal Academy describing the new Rotherhithe Tunnel under the Thames designed by Isambard Kingdom Brunel. Goodall later became known for middle-eastern subjects whose authentic details relied on studies made in Egypt in 1858 and 1870, and he also painted European historical and genre subjects, including a series set in Brittany. He became an Associate of the Royal Academy in 1852, but also sent paintings to exhibitions in the north of England to attract wider patronage. When he painted "The Declaration," the artist was a bachelor (he would married Alice Tarry in 1872), so the subject may have had some personal resonance.
