Depicting Ethel Familiar Illustrating Larcombe Morality Nouveau Poem 1907 Caressing
EDITORS COMMENTS
The Night Has a Thousand Eyes, Circa 1907 This exquisite Decorative Art Nouveau illustration, created around 1907, captures the essence of Ethel Larcombe's poetic verse "The Night Has a Thousand Eyes." The illustration, not to be confused with any specific company, showcases the captivating allure of the night through the depiction of a young lady lost in thought, her long tresses cascading down her back like a waterfall. The intricate Art Nouveau style, with its sinuous lines and organic forms, adds an ethereal quality to the scene. The delicate interplay of light and shadow, as well as the rich, vibrant colors, evoke a sense of mystery and enchantment. The young woman's introspective gaze, combined with the enigmatic title, invites the viewer to ponder the depths of the night and the secrets it may hold. The poem "The Night Has a Thousand Eyes" by Bourdillon, a popular morality verse of the time, adds an additional layer of meaning to the illustration. The poem speaks of the night as a time of introspection and self-reflection, when one's deepest thoughts and desires come to the surface. The young lady in the illustration embodies this idea, her gentle touch on her hair a reminder of the connection between the mind and the body. This stunning piece of decorative art, with its timeless beauty and thought-provoking themes, continues to captivate and inspire viewers over a century after its creation. The intricate details and rich symbolism make it a treasured addition to any collection, and a testament to the enduring appeal of Art Nouveau style.
