The Wishing Cap
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a delightful and whimsical illustration by Minnie Asprey, created around 1918. The image showcases a young child, likely a girl, holding a charming hat adorned with intricate wings and a playful expression. This enchanting hat, known as a wishing cap, is the source of endless amusement for the child. The scene is set in a nursery or children's room, filled with toys, books, and other signs of childhood. The child's bed is in the background, adding to the cozy and inviting atmosphere. The wishing cap, with its magical properties, is the focus of the illustration. The child's hands are poised, as if ready to make a wish, and her eyes are filled with excitement and anticipation. The fairy-like hat is adorned with intricate details, such as tiny flowers, leaves, and butterflies. Its most striking feature, however, are the wings that sprout from the top. These wings, reminiscent of those found on fairies, add to the magical and fantastical nature of the illustration. The quote that accompanies the image, "If I the wishing cap could find, I should want the funniest things!", adds to the playful and lighthearted tone of the illustration. It suggests that the child's wishes, should she find the wishing cap, would be focused on finding things that bring laughter and joy. Overall, "The Wishing Cap" is a charming and delightful illustration that captures the imagination and wonder of childhood. It is a reminder of the magic and joy that can be found in the simplest of things, and the importance of maintaining a sense of wonder and curiosity throughout life.
