Children Watching the Fairies by Night,
EDITORS COMMENTS
by Lilian Amy Govey, published in Humphrey Milford's "Postcards for the Little Ones" Dreams & Fairies series in 1922. This enchanting image invites us to step into a world of moonlit wonder and magical possibilities. The scene is set in a tranquil woodland glade, where a group of children, dressed in turn-of-the-century clothing, gather around, their eyes fixed on the night sky. Their faces are filled with awe and excitement, as if they are on the brink of discovering something truly magical. The artist, Lilian Amy Govey, masterfully captures the ethereal quality of the moonlit night, with its silvery glow casting long, delicate shadows on the forest floor. The trees are adorned with delicate fairy lights, adding to the dreamlike atmosphere. The children's clothing, with their pinafore dresses and short trousers, further emphasizes the historical context of the image, transporting us back in time. The "Dreams & Fairies" series, published by Humphrey Milford, was a popular collection of postcards that captured the imaginations of children and adults alike. These postcards were a source of wonder and delight, and allowed people to escape into a world of fantasy and magic. This particular image, "Children Watching the Fairies by Night," is a testament to the enduring appeal of fairies and the magic of the night. Lilian Amy Govey was a prolific artist, known for her illustrations of children and fairies. Her work was featured in numerous publications, including books, magazines, and postcards. Her unique style, characterized by delicate lines and a soft, dreamlike quality, made her a favorite among collectors and admirers of children's art. This image, with its timeless beauty and magical allure, continues to captivate and inspire us today.
