EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print titled "Father time went flying out" we are transported into the enchanting world of Italian Fairy Tales. The image, a colour lithograph by Howard Davie, is taken from the book published by Raphael Tuck & Sons. The scene depicts a mesmerizing interior where an ethereal female figure stands in perfect balance on one foot. She gazes intently at a bearded grandfather clock that seems to come alive before our eyes. Father Time himself emerges from within the clock, his wings spread wide as he takes flight. The young girl's face reveals a mixture of awe and fear as she witnesses this ghostly personification of time soaring through the air. Her anxiety is palpable, mirrored by her clenched fists and furrowed brow. A raven perches nearby, its dark feathers adding to the sense of mystery and unease in the room. In front of the girl stands a set of scales, symbolizing judgment or perhaps representing her own internal struggle between curiosity and trepidation. This evocative image captures both anguish and wonderment, inviting us to ponder our relationship with time itself. It serves as a reminder that even though we may try to control it or understand it, time remains elusive and ever-changing. Davie's skillful use of color and detail brings this fantastical moment to life, leaving us captivated by its beauty while contemplating our own mortality in relation to the passage of time.
