EDITORS COMMENTS
In this enchanting illustration by Muriel Baines titled 'The Queen gave him a glass of the richest cordial,' we witness a once-in-a-lifetime moment between a young man and a regal monarch. Dressed in the grandest of medieval attire, the Queen dons a majestic pointed hat adorned with jewels and a long, flowing veil. Her yellow gown, adorned with intricate patterns, adds to her otherworldly allure. The man before her, with wide-eyed wonder, wears a simple tunic and a cap, his youthful face etched with awe. The Queen extends a hand, offering the young man a glass filled with the richest, most precious cordial from the legendary Wishing Cup. The cordial, a symbol of the Queen's power and generosity, is said to grant the drinker's deepest wish. The man's eyes are closed as he takes a sip, lost in the dreamlike atmosphere of the moment. The illustration, reminiscent of a scene from an old fairytale or a passage from a Warnes' Book of Tales, captures the essence of magic and wonderment. The intricate details of the illustration, from the Queen's elaborate costume to the ornate patterns on the walls, transport the viewer to a time long past. The warm, yellow tones of the illustration add to the sense of warmth and comfort, making it a captivating piece of art that tells a story of dreams, wishes, and the power of the monarchy.
