EDITORS COMMENTS
This vibrant and captivating print titled "Wonderful England: Secure on our Island" takes us back in time to the early 20th century. Created by Mary Francis Ames, this colour lithograph showcases a scene from the book "Wonderful England! or, The Happy Land!" written by Mrs Ernest Ames. The image depicts an idyllic island surrounded by a vast blue ocean, symbolizing the security of England as a nation. With its playful and humorous undertones, it captures the essence of British literature and historical context. The illustration emphasizes nationalistic sentiments while subtly poking fun at imperialistic ideals prevalent during that era. Ames' artistic style beautifully combines elements of history and humour, making this print both educational and entertaining for children and adults alike. It serves as a reminder of England's naval strength and its role in defending itself against potential threats. As we admire this artwork, we are transported to an enchanting world where Europe meets Iceland. Through clever visual storytelling, Ames invites us to reflect on notions of identity within larger geopolitical contexts such as the European Union. This remarkable piece is part of a private collection but has been made accessible through Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder platform. Its presence adds depth to any space while sparking conversations about history, literature, defence strategies, and even contemporary political landscapes – all encapsulated within one mesmerizing image.
