Attwell Give Leave Lucie Mabel Moonlight Rest
EDITORS COMMENTS
Mabel Lucie Attwell's captivating illustration, titled "Give me the moonlight, give me the boy (and leave the rest to me)," is a timeless masterpiece that continues to enchant viewers with its charm and nostalgic allure. This beautiful artwork, created by the renowned English illustrator, Mabel Lucie Attwell (1879-1964), was first published in the early 20th century and has since become a beloved classic. The image features a young woman, dressed in a flowing, white nightgown, gazing out at the night sky from the comfort of her garden swing. With a dreamy expression on her face, she reaches out her arms towards the moon, as if inviting its gentle light to envelop her. In her other hand, she cradles a letter, her thoughts seemingly consumed by the words within. Beside her, a young boy, dressed in a nightshirt and knickers, sits on the grass, gazing up at the stars with a look of wonder and excitement. He clutches a small lantern, its warm glow casting a soft light on their scene. The boy's presence adds an element of innocence and playfulness to the image, creating a sense of whimsy and delight. The title of the artwork, "Give me the moonlight, give me the boy (and leave the rest to me)," suggests a longing for the simple pleasures of life - the beauty of nature and the company of a cherished companion. The phrase "leave the rest to me" implies a sense of contentment and self-sufficiency, as if the woman is finding fulfillment in the present moment. Mabel Lucie Attwell's exquisite attention to detail and her ability to capture the essence of human emotion make this illustration a true masterpiece. It is a reminder of the power of nature, the magic of childhood, and the beauty of the human spirit. This image is a must-have for any collection of classic illustrations or for those who appreciate the art of Mabel Lucie Attwell.
