In the heart of the English Lake District, a legendary tale unfolds, as depicted in this print from Mary Evans Picture Library. The image portrays the mythical figure of the Giant of Yewdale, also known as the Great Will of the Tarns, in the midst of an abduction. Lady Eva le Fleming's maid, Barbara, is seen in the giant's grasp, her eyes wide with fear as he is cornered by villagers. The giant, a colossal being of folklore, had long terrorized the residents of the Lake District, and this day, he had taken his latest victim. With the villagers closing in, the giant's back is against the wall, and in a desperate move, he hurls Barbara into a nearby torrent, hoping to escape. The torrent, a raging current of water, foams and churns as Barbara is swept away, her fate uncertain.
