EDITORS COMMENTS
The First Meeting, Ethel Parkinson, 1911 This enchanting image captures the moment of a young boy's first encounter with a pretty girl at a rustic stile. The scene is set in a pastoral idyll, with the golden sun casting long shadows over the rolling countryside. The girl, dressed in a delicate, flowing dress and adorned with a ribbon in her hair, holds her cherished doll in her arms, gazing intently at the inquisitive young boy who approaches. His curiosity piqued, the boy reaches out a hand, likely to ask for a peek at the doll or perhaps to strike up a conversation. The artist, Ethel Parkinson, masterfully captures the innocence and wonder of childhood, as well as the timeless allure of first meetings. The soft hues and delicate brushstrokes evoke a sense of nostalgia and longing for simpler times. The setting sun and the girl's gentle smile add an air of romance and possibility to the scene, hinting at the potential blossoming of a beautiful friendship or perhaps something more. This charming print, created in 1911, is a testament to the power of first impressions and the enduring magic of childhood memories. Ethel Parkinson's skillful depiction of this moment in time invites us to reflect on our own experiences of first meetings and the profound impact they can have on our lives.
