EDITORS COMMENTS
Do as the Locals Do: A Traditional English Love Story, as Depicted in Ethel Parkinson's 1904 Print 'Do as they do in England' Step back in time with this beautiful and evocative image of a traditional English love story, captured in the intricately detailed print 'Do as they do in England' by renowned English artist Ethel Parkinson, dated 1904. The scene unfolds at the quayside, where the strong, rugged figure of a sailor, dressed in his seafaring best, stands hand in hand with his beloved, her delicate hand enveloped by his larger, calloused one. The tenderness and depth of emotion in their gaze speaks volumes of their enduring love, a bond that has withstood the trials and tribulations of his life at sea. The title of the print, 'Do as they do in England,' is a reference to the traditional English folk song of the same name, which encourages visitors to embrace the customs and traditions of the land. The image is a testament to the rich cultural heritage of England, where love, tradition, and the sea have long been intertwined. The intricate details of the print, from the textured fabric of the sailor's coat to the delicate folds of the woman's shawl, transport us back to a bygone era, where love stories were as timeless and enduring as the sea itself. Ethel Parkinson's masterful use of color and shading brings this romantic scene to life, capturing the essence of a love that transcends time and place. This print is a must-have for anyone who appreciates the beauty and depth of traditional English folklore and the enduring power of love.
