EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Mistletoe (colour litho)" by John Shenton Eland takes us on a whimsical journey into the realm of fairy legends and floral fantasy. The image, part of a private collection, showcases Eland's exquisite talent in illustrating Hilda Murray's Flower Legends for Children. In this enchanting scene, we find ourselves amidst an extraordinary archery competition where mistletoe becomes the symbol of joy and peace. As legendary figures like Freya, Hodur, Baldur, and Loki gather around a magnificent tree adorned with mistletoe flowers, they engage in a fantastical game of shooting darts at blindfolded targets. Eland's attention to detail is evident as he portrays the disabled character with sightless eyes participating cheerfully in this magical event. Through his artistry, he challenges societal perceptions by celebrating diversity and showcasing that even those with infirmities can find happiness and contribute to their surroundings. The presence of mistletoe adds another layer of symbolism to this mesmerizing composition. Known for its association with love and romance during the holiday season, it serves as a reminder that beauty can be found even in unexpected places. Overall, this print not only captivates our imagination but also invites us to reflect on themes such as inclusivity and the power of nature. It beautifully combines elements from folklore, botany, natural history, science while highlighting the importance of embracing differences within society.
