EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "A Child's Garden of Verses: The Land of Counterpane" takes us on a nostalgic journey back to the early twentieth century. The image, a colour lithograph by Clara Miller Burd, beautifully captures the essence of childhood imagination and wonder. In this enchanting scene, we see a young child lying in bed surrounded by an array of toys and figurines. With eyes wide open, the child gazes intently as their leaden soldiers march across the counterpane. As Robert Louis Stevenson's poem suggests, these tiny soldiers become real-life heroes in the child's vivid imagination. The vibrant colours used in this lithograph bring life to every detail - from the intricate patterns on the counterpane to each soldier's uniform. It is evident that Burd has skillfully captured not only the physical appearance but also the spirit and energy of childhood play. This artwork serves as a reminder of how children can transform even mundane moments into extraordinary adventures through their boundless creativity. It evokes feelings of nostalgia for simpler times when imaginative play was at its peak. Overall, this print is a testament to both Burd's artistic talent and Stevenson's timeless poetry. It invites viewers to step into a world where dreams come alive and ordinary objects hold infinite possibilities for joyous exploration.
