EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative pencil drawing, titled 'Malaquera,' transports us back in time to a musical scene circa 1920. The image is densely populated with a closely packed gathering of people, their rapt attention focused on three guitar players performing outside an old, weathered building. The setting sun casts a warm, golden glow over the scene, bathing the cobblestone street in a soft, colourful light. The magazine from which this print is taken, 'Godfrey's', was published in January 1921, Volume 13, and was a popular British weekly magazine known for its illustrations and stories. The drawing captures the essence of a simpler time, when community and music came together to create a shared experience. The people in the drawing appear to be fully immersed in the moment, their faces expressing a range of emotions from pure joy to quiet contemplation. The guitar players, with their serious expressions and focused gaze, seem to be lost in the music they are creating, their fingers dancing nimbly over the strings. This beautiful, timeless image invites us to pause and appreciate the power of music to bring people together and transport us to another place and time.
