EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "The Land of Counterpane" takes us on a whimsical journey into the world of childhood imagination. The image, a colour lithograph by Minnie Didbin Spooner, beautifully captures the essence of R. L. Stevenson's beloved poem. In this enchanting scene, we see a young child surrounded by an array of toys and books while lying in bed. As the verse goes, "I was the giant great and still / That sits upon the pillow-hill". The child becomes both creator and ruler of their own imaginary kingdom atop their cozy counterpane. The illustration comes from "The Golden Staircase" a collection of poems and verses for children compiled by Louey Chisholm with pictures by M Dibdin Spooner around 1910. It perfectly embodies the innocence and wonderment that permeate childhood experiences. Through vibrant colors and intricate details, Spooner's illustration transports us back to a time when our imaginations knew no bounds. It reminds us of those precious moments spent lost in daydreams, where ordinary objects transformed into extraordinary adventures. "The Land of Counterpane" serves as a testament to the enduring power of literature in shaping our early years. This evocative artwork invites viewers to embrace nostalgia and rediscover the magic hidden within everyday life – just like that imaginative child nestled among their treasures on that pillow-hill.
