German-American artist and well-known illustrator Fritz Eichenberg created this engraving to serve as the book cover design for a 1943 publication of 19th century British author Emily Brontë's first and only novel, Wuthering Heights. The novel (wuthering is a Yorkshire word referring to turbulent weather) was first published in 1847 and tells the tale of the all-encompassing yet thwarted love between the characters Heathcliff, as illustrated here, and Catherine Earnshaw; an unresolved passion that eventually destroys them and the lives of many others.
