EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph, titled "Sleep, silence child, sweet father of soft rest" by Robert Anning Bell, evokes a sense of tranquility and serenity. The image portrays a young child peacefully sleeping, cradled in the arms of their loving father. As the child slumbers soundly, their innocent face radiates an aura of peace and contentment. The artist skillfully captures the essence of sleep as a gentle prince who brings harmony to all mortals. This poetic sentiment is further emphasized by the accompanying verse from William Drummond's English Lyrics: "Sleep, silence child, sweet father of soft rest / Prince whose approach peace to all mortals brings". These words beautifully express the universal longing for peaceful slumber that transcends time and place. Bell's lithograph not only showcases his artistic talent but also serves as an illustration for John Dennis' introduction to English Lyrics. Published in 1898 by George Bell & Sons, this collection features poetry that celebrates the beauty and power of language through lyrical verses. As we gaze upon this enchanting print from our private collection, we are reminded of the importance of finding solace in sleep and cherishing those moments when our minds find respite from life's worries. It is a timeless reminder that even amidst chaos and turmoil, there exists a haven where dreams can flourish and inner calm can be restored.
