EDITORS COMMENTS
This charming chromolitho print captures a nostalgic scene of a boy and girl engrossed in a book. Created by Mary Ellen Edwards, this illustration was featured in the renowned Golden Hours publication by Mrs Sale Barker in 1885. The image exudes innocence and sentimentality, transporting us back to the enchanting world of Victorian childhood. The boy and girl sit side by side, their eyes fixed on the pages before them. Surrounded by shelves filled with books, they are immersed in a world of knowledge and imagination. A doll lies forgotten beside them, evidence that even playtime takes second place to the joy of reading. In this snapshot from the past, we witness not only an appreciation for literature but also the importance placed on education during this era. It is heartwarming to see children eagerly devouring books rather than being consumed by modern distractions. The presence of a ball hints at moments of respite from their literary adventures – perhaps indicating breaks spent playing games together or engaging in innocent mischief. This glimpse into their lives reminds us of simpler times when toys were cherished possessions and genuine connections were formed through shared experiences. As we gaze upon this delightful print, our own memories may be stirred as we recall our own childhoods filled with curiosity and wonderment. Through its timeless appeal, this artwork serves as a gentle reminder that amidst technological advancements, there will always be something magical about turning the pages of a good book.
