EDITORS COMMENTS
Pierrot and Miss Butterfly, 1914, by Ethel Parkinson This enchanting photograph, taken in the early 1910s, captures the moment of quiet contemplation shared between Pierrot and Miss Butterfly as they gaze out at a Chinese lantern from the balcony of a romantic, moonlit terrace. The ethereal beauty of Miss Butterfly, with her delicate features and flowing white gown, is in stark contrast to the melancholic clown Pierrot, his exaggerated features and sad countenance adding an air of intrigue and mystery to the scene. Ethel Parkinson, a talented British artist and photographer, expertly captures the essence of the iconic Pierrot and Butterfly characters, which had captivated audiences in both literature and art since their inception in the late 19th century. The use of the Chinese lantern adds an exotic and alluring touch to the image, transporting the viewer to a far-off land filled with enchantment and wonder. The photograph, with its timeless beauty and captivating storytelling, is a testament to the enduring appeal of these beloved characters and the power of art to evoke emotion and transport us to another world. This exquisite image, taken over a century ago, continues to captivate and inspire, inviting us to pause and appreciate the simple pleasures of life and the beauty of love and friendship.
