EDITORS COMMENTS
Jessie Marion King's enchanting illustration for a 1920s greetings card depicts a serene ship sailing atop the vast, tranquil sea. The ship, with its sails full of wind, cuts through the water with a graceful determination. But what sets this scene apart is the ethereal presence of angels, their wings outstretched, protecting the vessel from the unpredictable elements of the sea. Jessie M. King (1875-1949), a Scottish artist, masterfully captures the essence of the 1920s with her intricate, delicate brushstrokes and the use of pastel colors. The angels, with their flowing robes and halos, are reminiscent of the Art Nouveau movement, which was popular during this era. The card's design exudes a sense of hope and safety, as if to say that even in the midst of the unknown and potentially treacherous sea, there is always the promise of protection and guidance. The angels' gentle gaze and the ship's steady progression forward create a sense of peace and reassurance. This illustration, created in 1926, is a beautiful example of the whimsical and imaginative artwork that defined the illustrative style of the 1920s. King's ability to capture the essence of the era, along with her unique artistic vision, makes this piece a true treasure for collectors and enthusiasts of vintage illustration.
