A Child's Dream of Twelfth Night,
EDITORS COMMENTS
a captivating engraving by Charles Keene, dated 1854, presents an imaginative and whimsical scene drawn from the pages of the "Illustrated London News." This print invites us into the cozy confines of a child's bedroom, where the boundary between reality and fantasy has blurred. As the sun sets and the time of day approaches for the Feast of Epiphany, also known as Twelfth Night, the toys in this child's bedchamber come to life. The monarchs of the room, a king and queen, preside over the lively scene, as their subjects – a diverse cast of toys – dance and frolic on the bedroom floor. The print, created by Charles Samuel Keene, showcases the power of a child's imagination and the magic of the Twelfth Night celebration. The toys, which include a clown, a jester, a knight, and a queen, are depicted in joyful, animated poses, their faces expressing delight and merriment. The print, published in the "Illustrated London News," offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back to the nineteenth century and the unique traditions of Britain. The unusual scene, with its blend of the mundane and the magical, continues to captivate and delight viewers, inviting us to ponder the power of our own imaginations and the enchantment of the holiday season. This print, with its intricate details and beautiful composition, is a testament to the enduring allure of the Twelfth Night celebration and the boundless capacity of the human imagination. It is a treasure for collectors of historical prints and those who appreciate the whimsy and wonder of the holiday season.
