EDITORS COMMENTS
In this enchanting engraving titled "May-Dew" we are transported to a serene and idyllic scene captured by an English School artist in the 19th century. The print, now part of a private collection, showcases the beauty and joy of May Day celebrations. The image depicts a group of elegantly dressed individuals dancing gracefully amidst nature's splendor. Bathed in soft sunlight filtering through lush trees, they seem to be fully immersed in the moment, their cares forgotten as they revel in the magic of May Dew. Their movements exude relaxation and freedom, perfectly capturing the essence of this ancient tradition. May Dew was believed to possess magical properties that could bring good fortune and health throughout the year. It was customary for people to rise early on May Day morning and dance barefoot on dew-covered grass or flowers, symbolizing renewal and vitality. This print from Bridgeman Images invites us to appreciate not only its artistic mastery but also transports us back in time to witness a cherished cultural ritual filled with joyous celebration. As we gaze upon this exquisite artwork, we can almost hear faint music playing in our minds as these dancers twirl with grace and elegance under nature's watchful eye - truly an evocative portrayal that captures both the spirit of dance and the tranquility found within nature's embrace.
