EDITORS COMMENTS
Hope Springs Eternal: A Timeless Moment of Anticipation by Ethel Parkinson (1914) In this enchanting and evocative image, titled 'Hope Springs Eternal,' British artist Ethel Parkinson captures the essence of childhood innocence and the eternal optimism of nature. The scene unfolds at the edge of a serene pond, where a young boy and girl sit side by side, their fishing rods cast into the still waters. Their faces are filled with hope and excitement, as they eagerly await the prospect of a catch. The gentle ripples created by their casts, the vibrant colors of their clothing, and the lush greenery surrounding them all contribute to a sense of tranquility and wonder. Parkinson's masterful use of color and composition invites us to step into this moment in time, to share in the simple joy of these two young anglers. The title 'Hope Springs Eternal' is a poignant reminder that no matter the passage of time or the challenges we may face, the human spirit remains steadfast in its ability to find hope and joy in the smallest of moments. This beautiful print, created in 1914, continues to resonate with audiences today, offering a glimpse into a bygone era and a reminder of the enduring power of hope. Ethel Parkinson (1871-1951) was a prolific British artist known for her paintings of children, animals, and rural scenes. Her work was widely exhibited in the UK and the US, and she was a member of the Royal Society of British Artists. This print, 'Hope Springs Eternal,' is a testament to her remarkable talent and her ability to capture the essence of hope and the beauty of nature.
